If ideology is not mentioned, this is a well-deserved family social tragedy. But it is hard not to mention ideology: the director clearly expressed his criticism against the target at the end of the film (roughly): from 2000 to 2007, nearly 10 German immigrants were assassinated by an underground party with Nazi sentiment. Germany is a nation that knows how to introspect. As a director of Turkish origin, it is more understandable to help the Germanic nation continue to "introspect". There is no problem in reflecting on the Nazis, but think carefully: citing less than 10 people who died because of the neo-Nazi atrocities in the past eight years does not seem to be the kind of extremely critical reality on the surface?
The extreme right is extremely bad and heinous, but the extreme right brutality that the film resorts to, from the data point of view, does not seem to be a massive phenomenon of contemporary violence. The current atmosphere seems to be: the extreme right will be beaten to death with a stick (of course, well); but in contrast, it is not enough to directly reflect on other worse contemporary acts of violence. This phenomenon is also very unpleasant.
As far as the film is concerned, the heroine lost her husband and child; the criminal escaped because of a "loophole" in the law. The heroine's mentality was twists and turns, and finally chose to blew himself up with the criminal. In retrospect, it was the destined ending from the beginning. The plot processing, character performance, and sometimes the background music that renders the mentality are very appropriate. The most convincing thing is the choice of lens, which is of course very life-like, using handheld photography with random rotation, but it doesn't seem to be that elegant.
