Sinekatalog’s take

A solemn historical drama following a poet's journey to Ankara during the independence struggle. It aims for reverence but struggles with stiffness and uneven craft. Mostly suited to viewers with a particular interest in the figure and period.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
