Sinekatalog’s take
A Turkish thriller-drama about a sweet-seeming eight-year-old girl whose mother suspects her of causing a rival's death. It plays on dread beneath childhood innocence. Gripping for fans of psychological suspense in vintage cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
