Undisputedly masterful on a technical level (beautiful black and white photography, great sound department, sets that leave you in awe, and cool costumes) but underwhelming when it comes to content.

The script feels both pretentious and simplistic at the same time. There is a heavy use of rather weak metaphors, which try to push bland messages of homoeroticism, hierarchy and environmentalism.

At the same time, the film leaves you baffled and confused at times as you do not really know for sure how to react to what is happening to the screen.

Escaping the hell of ISIS captivity may not lead you to paradise if you are a Yazidi mother.

This pseudo road movie documentary splendidly shows the personal struggle of “Ana” while also inserting the reality of other Yazidi mothers and their children in the heart of their communities, refugee camps and orphanages.

Extremely tough but with a message full of hope underneath.

Although having a well constructed mystery and atmosphere surrounding it, most of picturesque characters are not very attractive hurting the overall punch of the film.

Slow paced and quiet movie that prioritises its great visual elements.

On the other hand, its story is uneven. Starting with a weak romance, the film spurs more interest in its second half after a key dramatic turn of events.

The reaction from the protagonists is quite theatrical but nonetheless its rebelliousness provides a comforting finale.

With a rather cool epic and bleak soundtrack, this would easily be the favourite documentary for the characters of Cronenberg’s Crash (1996).

The film succeeds in balancing both the action of banger racing and the private life of the protagonists.
