This is a really terrific movie; one of the best of the year... It has a cumulative force that stays with you. It certainly stays with me.

This is tragic, illuminating, and very intimately told. It's very stylistically intriguing... It presents the story from the victim's perspective. It restores her voice, in a sense.

A film that feels exploitative, not enlightened.

Sherry Hormann's chilling drama revolves around a free-spirited young woman living with an ultra-conservative Turkish Muslim family in Berlin.

This movie is not a judgment against the Muslim religion but an unflinching critique of anyone who devalues women's lives or treats women as always inferior to men.

An absolute masterpiece, unless you pray five times a day. Inventive structure as we have the young woman offering commentary from the hereafter. Good acting and cinematography. Very well structured. Soon after the story starts we are told what happened, but this doesn’t diminish the movie’s appeal. Unfortunately, religion continues to influence the lives of many people.
