A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Zübeyde, Mothers and Sons, tells the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's mother, Zübeyde Hanim, which begins in Thessaloniki, in the last periods of the Ottoman Empire, and reflects the period until the declaration of the Republic.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
