Maybe the film with the best picture I've ever seen, surly this should have won an Oscar! Takté Siah (Blackboards) blew me away with its stunning story line, brilliant acting and thrills you just simply cant miss. A masterpiece of film making.

Takhté Siah is a story about survival for a bunch of Middle Eastern Kurds in their own country, most of then; kids. Blackboards is directed and acted perfectly, with smart ideas and non stop emotional scenes which will keep you on the edge of your couch through out the whole film.

Blackboards is a brilliant film, even just by the look of it.

Should have won multiples of Oscars.

10/10
