Araf – Somewhere In Between

Flavisms

The film's power lies in its beauty. Like a Hemingway story, the landscapes are washed over by gripping symbolism. The contemplative and slow-paced first half however, clashes with a dramatised second half. The film falls short at the intersection of where it succeeds: it becomes "about" a social issue that it precisely tries to escape.
