This Turkish movie is full of teenage carcasses, love and hormones that have nowhere to go. But in addition to the ubiquitous beauty and the beauty of the girls, there are many feudal dogmas of Islam that persecute women physically and mentally. The lives of the five sisters are very different. Marrying love, forced marriage, tragic suicide, struggling to resist, etc., each girl's ending is different, especially the eldest sister's happy ending sets off the sadness of the other sisters. The contradictory role of grandma, who has absolute authority to issue orders in front of her granddaughter, but protects her granddaughter in front of a more powerful uncle, fully depicts the struggles and contradictions of women who are persecuted by Islam-related dogmas.

    The director of 8.0 has a strong political appeal, and this debut novel does not have much new ideas in the handling of the narrative. Since the girls were imprisoned by their conservative families, the direction of the script is naturally inseparable from the suppression and explosion of sex, violence and desire. But the film's character creation is very delicate and solid. For this film, successful character creation is more important and moving than its dramatic plot.

    Wanton youth is naturally a maiden. Although the director said that the aesthetics of the film was influenced by Pasolini, and used a gesture of alienation to describe the most horrific reality, I still feel that the degree is not well grasped, and the focus on the beauty of the body will make such a film meant to be critical. The film takes on a dangerous symbol-trafficking situation.
