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.
Kenan acts tough with his two friends. He collects protection money from nightclubs by force. His girlfriend Nesrin wants Kenan to quit his job. At first, Kenan refuses. However, when one of his friends dies in his arms during a fight, he repents. He marries Nesrin and they have a child. He makes a living as a taxi driver. One night, his close friend Selim comes to his house injured. Before he can explain what happened, he dies. The next day, men seeking Selim's money kill Nesrin and her son. Kenan breaks his vow and sets out to avenge his family.

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.
