About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a somber, slow-burn family drama about guilt, corruption, and unspoken truths, with a brooding mood similar to Once Upon a Time in Anatolia; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear-cut thrills.
Pros: heavy emotional pull; strong performances; gripping atmosphere | Cons: very slow pace; thin plot development; bleak, draining mood
