“Despite its unconventional rhythm, Sardunya, the first feature film of Cagil Bocutoglu, manages to turn the risk it takes into a reward and draws the audience in from beginning to end. The film, which unfolds the family tragedies that we can all relate to in different levels through a father-daughter axis, successfully blends drama with crime genre. Sardunya, which can appeal to both festival and mainstream audiences, definitely deserves to be watched with its successful scenario paradigm and delicious plans that resemble Scandinavian cinema. Boldly putting a young female protagonist at the center, the film makes us realize a deficiency in Turkish cinema and opens up a new fresh door. It is certain that Sardunya promises much more than a first film.”
