"It is a very intense well-made film, starting with solid script, an effective editing with gripping momentum, and not to mention the superb acting from the opening scene until the end scene. For building a tense and quite complex story that reflected the meaning of family, fatherhood, and motherhood within the context of racism and deep divisions. The film's cinematic language was symbolic, creating an interesting connection between the two generations. The director created a deeply touching movie, where, once again, the victims are the youngest, who grew up amidst hatred as if this was a hereditary trait, without denying the possibility of making a different choice.", C.G.S's jury, commented.
