The rich and transformative lens language shows the talent of the 20-year-old young director everywhere, and the montage in some places is reminiscent of Eisenstein's image style. Although it is the debut work, the director's mature control over the rhythm of the story has been shown in the changing mood of the film. The film shows the common emotional problems between mother and son through a real and somewhat extreme story, but the content expressed by the director is not so simple. The addition of gay boyfriends, teachers and other characters has added a lot of emotional color to this film with a strong literary accent.
