    Mustang (2015) Review: Five Sisters Against the Walls

    Mustang is Deniz Gamze Ergüven's Turkish-language debut about five orphaned sisters locked away ahead of arranged marriages: vivid, angry and full of life.

    Yes. It is a gripping, beautifully acted coming-of-age drama with real fury underneath, though its fable-like simplicity sometimes flattens the adults around the girls.
