Rather than the cliche and ever-so shallow modern critic of religion, this documentary acts as a brilliant expose of the Western commodification of religious experience through the cultural appropriation of alien religions, and on the side it manages to teach you about how we tend to self-reconciliate by finding mirroring objects -whether they be gurus, psychotherapists or journals- so as to project the products of our introspections we are too insecure to be conscious of onto those external platforms in order to abstract ourselves from the "self" and recognize it through that identical alien that we've created. Personally, as a psychologist and a struggling religious person, this movie exceeds my expectations in a very unexpected way.

It takes a special kind of talent, special in being rather extraordinarily able in rendering things unenjoyable, to provide absolutely no comedic value with a cast as such. I've never seen such a stark contrast between the level of the actors' talent and the one-dimensioned shallowness of the roles they're casted to play. I have stumbled upon this coal of a movie in an uplifted mood during the experience of which I was idle enough to reflect my inner joy on any and everything I was bored enough to bestow upon; surprisingly, this movie gained my appreciation in being the object which made me find great worth in pure unworthiness. This was a great experience and all but I still don't refrain from classifying this movie as "garbage tier" one only for I'm quite sure that the producers didn't intend to beget such a profound life lesson.

The original name of this movie is "Yolun Acik Olsun", which literally translates to "May Your Road be Open" in English. The prayer itself might be manifested throughout the movie in that the road might be constantly open, but oh boy are there some sharp turns that makes you wish for a full stop... Always make sure your prayers are fully-inclusive lmao

I presume the Turkish cinema was waiting for the economy to collapse to sublime in producing top-of-the-class movies such as this. I'm not going to give any information regarding what happens in the movie, just go ahead and dive.

Good luck in coping with the after-effects of this movie; a cold shower usually works.
