Family fun in The Edge of Heaven movie

Director: Fatih Akin

Cast: Baki Davrak, Nursel Kose, Tuncel Kurtiz

Cert: 15

A well-woven tale from Turkey about love, jealousy and family crisis.

Kurtiz plays the elderly rescuer of a prostitute (Nurgul Yesilcav) who comes to live with him … not happily for when his son (Davrak) pays a visit and too much attention he kills her.

The film is filled with seething undercurrents and strong characters and while there are times when it’s hard going it remains a story that never loses our attention.

Star Rating: 3/5
