Büyük Oyun

Today I watched this very well kept secret and I'm really surprised about not hearing about it before. The plot is both very known and distant. It is about a Turkmen girl who lost her family and trying to find her way through in life. She leaves now deserted village with an aim, to find her brother. So it is mostly a road movie. What I really liked about this movie is, it's very subtle and simple, the reality shown in the movie is not poking your eyes, like a documentary, you just accept it. Maybe the final twist is a bit of a far stretch, but still acceptable, and even lightens the heavy plot. There are other balancing moments in this movie which you smile and even laugh, so unlike most movies about middle east you don't feel horrible after it ends. Also if you liked Homeland you should give this movie a chance. You might notice a surprise.
