“Nacar makes remarkably suspenseful drama out of one hyper-committed woman’s refusal to curry sympathy.”

Variety

“Riveting. Subtle and methodical.”

The Moveable Fest

“Packs a sustained wallop of tension and unraveling into a concise 84-minute running time. Tülin Özen, in the lead role, delivers a pitch-perfect turn as an astute professional who hasn’t time for her vulnerability.”
