    Daring debut
    I enjoyed very much the progression of the movie. The spectator, like the main character, Demir, is lost and confused in a senseless plot. But this labyrinth has a logic of its own, and it's worth drifting along the way. A psychoanalytic interpretation would pair well with a queer perspective.

    I also enjoyed how Gem Deger was able to combine and resuscitate the flashy pop aesthetic of Gregg Araki's teenage trilogy with the morbid touch of a necro-romance à la Bruce LaBruce. It's like going back to the best of the queer underground cinema from the 90s.

    It's a daring, refreshing and promising debut.
