It is striking how in the 21st century there are still places in the world where women are subjected to foolish customs, which transform their freedom into carcere, which make them maids throughout their existence. For this and others that sometimes I feel ashamed to be part of this species.

For a world with more Lale spirit, please! That his scream of freedom echoes in societies around the world.

Based off the poster, I thought this was going to be about girls in a break dance crew. Turns out Turkey doesn't have break dancing, just oppression and sexism.

terribly reductive to call this a Turkish Virgin Suicides, but when the shoe fits... of course, "Turkish" is the operative word there, and the film leans hard into the quirks, foibles, and restriction of its setting, particularly in regards to women ... it's also wonderfully light and dexterous when it's not crossing the line towards generic indications of evil and hypocrisy (one choice made about the uncle's character irritated me something fierce). it's a shame the grip slackens a bit in the last 20 minutes.

EXCELLENT movie indeed. 

All the girls that play the sisters are brilliant and it genuinely feels like they have grown up together. 

Of course it had me raging within minutes at the judgement & suppression of women in that culture, but thankfully even though that exists, it clearly won't last much longer. 

What some of the sisters represent is a quite revolution, that they will win. Quite aptly, most of the older generation (especially the men) are presented as dickheads. Culture is one thing, but oppressing women is a whole other evil.

summer playlist track 4: i have no memes. only deep respect for the most serene film to come out since Short Term 12

La vida no es justa

such a powerful movie, u need to watch it

Nice film to make you think about religion and some cultural aspects from the middle east

La vi en el cine la primera vez y salí con un nudo en la garganta. Esta segunda vez, a pesar de saber que es lo que iba a pasar me hizo sentir como la primera vez que la vi.
Cuando terminas de verla te das cuenta de lo peligroso que puede llegar a ser cualquier religión por lo machistas que son todas. El machismo es algo muy peligroso, algo superviolento que hay que eliminar y te das cuenta de lo importante que es actualmente el movimiento feminista.
Una película llena de injusticias que te hacen ver como el mundo es actualmente y que no es cosa del pasado, sino del presente por desgracia.

Girls just want to have fun

Emotionally Recking, these five beatifull and talented girls manage to keep this film feel painfully real and very moving.
It's amazing that it's only the first movie for most of them yet they give such powerful 
And Mature performances that leaves a mark.
A Tragic yet such an important movie.

if u can, go into this blind! i had no idea it would be what it was
