FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

g-uzunbeycan Thanks for the team for this amazing drama, i wish i watched before. It pointed many aspects of conservatism and raise women problems in Turkey and similar countries. I hope it will help to increase consciousness.

vorlac Mustang film is a film that has not been popular in Turkey. Most of Turkey is a Muslim, Radical and Conservative country. Of course, it is also a reason why people do not understand film culture. The film refers to a very big problem. The influence of pressure and dictatorship on the children of the general family.This movie is actually a real story. Something that has been in turkey for years. It still continues. If you follow the news in turkey, you will certainly see family suicides, mass suicides due to husband pressure, suicides.Mustang is a bold film. Because it is about these issues, the issue and the playfulness are beautiful, but the quality and the quality are also problems. Of course, the fact that the budget of the Filmin is low is also effective. Is generally one of the most beautiful films in the Turkish film industry.

MartinHafer I've read the summary on IMDb as well as on Netflix and neither really does this film or its story any justice. It's not just a film about a traditional family forcing their girls into marriages...it's far, far more sinister and evil. Judging by the Netflix summary, it sounds like a comedy...and the film is instead tense, edgy and terrifying at times...not exactly the stuff of comedy!!The film begins with four sisters (they appear to me to be from about ages 11-16) playing in the water with some boys. But this is occurring in a very traditional part of Turkey...one where innocent play like this is interpreted as evil and sensual. As a result of the family's perceived shame, the grandmother and especially her incredibly malevolent son, decide to crack down on the girls. Instead of continuing in school, the girls are given crash courses in being wives...and the plan is to very quickly marry them off...even despite some of them being incredibly young. What happens next...well, it's something you should see for yourself.My daughter saw this film at a film festival and she talked to me about it. When she talked with other patrons, she was surprised how women perceived that the girls had been sexually abused by the uncle...whereas men who saw the film didn't get that same impression. I DID think this was the case (probably because of my experience as a therapist dealing with rape victims) but regardless of what he MIGHT have done, what he did do was horrible. The film is an unflinching indictment of traditionalist culture--one where women are essentially powerless. Having been made by an expat from this culture, it has a style and story that seem true and shocking. Very well made and well worth seeing, though the story is anything but fun despite the first 20 minutes or so of the film which is rather light-hearted. Instead, at times, it's heartbreaking and sad....very sad.

mcmanaman-266-49060 first of all as a person living in turkey and knowing the culture of it very well, i liked the Mustang in many aspects.Although it is the first feature film of the director and does not represent our culture,traditions and daily life at all, i liked the rebellion against patriarchy.The director, in this context, is not successful in showing the features our social life.To begin with characters i gotta tell that they acted so perfectly even if they never been actress before.Especially the character of Lale impressed me through her open-minded wisdom, her braveness into new life.The other girls were a bit fade beside her.Even so they all were good enough to be applauded by spectators.Secondly the place that film was shot does not comply with the events and the characters.You can not see such events and behaviours in north of turkey.This mistake happened since the director doesn't know the culture of turkey very well and cant see the point of issue properly.Thirdly, showing girls innocent in all ways is contradiction to what this movie aims at.There is a huge difference to have a sexual relationship between married and single during teenage according to culture of my desperate country.As for me both of them wrong as hell.But showing the girls innocent when they r doing whatever they want is completely nonsense but ordinary for the director and for people who do not live in these land.Fourthly, what is the point of this film? To shed light on the sexual pressure or patriarchal persecution? What is it? is a still mystery for me cant be solved yet.As we criticize this film according to cinematography, it fail.Otherwise it is fine for documentaryTo sum up i like the struggle against men but not the idea of the director.
