Inconditionnel

I really loved this movie. Very well directed,interesting,great acting. Pure drama,with plot twists. Raises social issues as well. Sarp Akkaya gives an acting recital,as always.

A drama that is also a thriller. A movie that is dramatic with social issues - but also with quite a few twists along the way. And a movie in general that maybe thinks it's way more clever than it actually is. That being said, this is more than a solid effort overall and the acting really elevates it. Even when it is borderline and you are thinking that it may be a bit too much what you are getting served.

But to what lengths a father wouldn't go to find out the truth? But what truth is it? And will it be sufficient? And how easily can you manipulate someone like that? All questions that are more than valid. A strange ending to say the least, with strange emotions ... but depending on your moral views and connections to the characters it will either work or not ...

I was searching on Netflix what film to watch and this caught my interest. It has all the ingredients of a good film. It's one of those films that make you think rather than let the film think for you.

I really enjoyed it, the acting is superb, the small details such as the guitar playing in the background, the rundown drug infested town the gaunt looks of the drug users the scene where you see the dead body of Musa's daughter all added to this film.

It's one of those films where you are emotionally involved and it leaves you thinking about it for the next few days.

I would definitely recommend you to watch.

The basic outline of the story is of an incarcerated man who is allowed to visit his daughter for a day (under the supervision of a prison guardian). The man has not seen his daughter since she was a baby and thus is very anxious and at the same time apprehensive to meet her. One cannot say much more without giving much away but I can add that it is not what you might expect.

The pace seems slow yet you understand why eventually. Behind every blink of an eye, every pursing of the lips, every slow moving frame there is some layer of the tragedies that have unfolded and are yet to.

The acting is perfection. No more to say. Sarp Akkaya is as always sublime in presenting a damaged character even behind a simple smile. Young Aleyna Özgeçen proves to be capable of working with such heavy and disturbing material. Ercan Kesal also provides a perfect supporting character who is there to help the audience connect with such a gritty world.

The story will keep you guessing and even when you think that all is laid before you, you keep getting small bread crumbs that add to the picture. It is a story that concludes with leaving the audience satisfied, grieved yet hopeful all at the same time.

The acting was superb cinematography was fine music was fine a little long but what I really couldn't get over is the whole moral code of a father protecting his daughter now I have lived in the Middle East a large part of my life and I've also known a lot of Turkish people both in Istanbul and in the states they are very strong in their convictions in general but this morality play Has to be updated -even for turkey It plays like something more from maybe the third or fourth century. Like Lebanon turkey was once a very modern state for that area.
