A remarkable courtroom drama from Turkey, Canan is a criminal lawyer who divides her time between the court, where she is defending a murder suspect, and the hospital where her mother is.
Morally complex and naturalistic, Hesitation Wound is an unexpected drama, powerfully acted with a bravura performance from Özen, and strong direction from writer / director Nacar.
Already getting festival recognition – nominated for the Best Film Horizons Award at Venice last year – Hesitation Wound makes for compulsive viewing.
“…as a film, it’s a truly enticing and welcoming sub-90-minute treat.” – Leila Latif, Indiewire
