Notes about the movie:
It was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe and Oscar.

The movie Mustang criticizes the patriarchal order by touching on issues such as the concept of female honor, expectations from the female gender, and child brides. The film does not position the woman as the object of the gaze and sets up the character on a level that draws attention to the conditions of being a subject.
