• Exceptional! Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film well deserved. The story of 5 sisters in Turkey, the aftermath of an innocent moment and its consequences is heart wrenching. Incredible performances, and a wonderful script.

• Very good. Another high-caliber Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee. 5 girls try to sustain their joy in an extremely religious and conservative family in rural Turkey. The film maintains an atmosphere of tension and lightness, accurately capturing the drama experienced by the girls, confined at home awaiting arranged marriages before their adolescence even ends.

• A striking portrait of the repression endured by five teenage girls trapped in a home turned prison, right at the peak of their vitality and sensuality, exactly when energy cannot be contained and rebellion and life forge a path.

• A film by a woman, with girls, that will appeal to everyone. Finally a funny, sad, and powerful film that speaks without taboos about rotten patriarchy and emancipatory freedom.

• A successful, moving drama about five Turkish sisters that never feels exaggerated or preachy, but tells its often oppressive story authentically and humanely.
