Synopsis
The film director as 'Tschick ', 'Auf der anderen Seite' or 'Gegen die Wand' brings us a new drama. The life of Katja (Diane Kruger), the protagonist of the film, falls apart when she finds out that her husband Nuri (Numan Acar) and son Rocco (Rafael Santana) have lost their lives in a bomb attack. Although it will go through a long mourning, it will also have to deal with judgments that demonstrate the injustice that has been committed against its family. In the end, and it will not be because she does not lack in desire, she will feel intoxicated by a feeling of revenge that will end up taking all of her. The film made Kruger win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival in the 2017 edition.

The film?s conclusion will raise questions and it certainly leaves the door open to discussion.

The end can create moral doubts in the civilized spectator.
Read - 6.0 The WrapBen Croll
While director Fatih Akin offers polish and skill, there?s only so much he can do with what amounts to a very familiar drama.
