Fatih Akin is a very capable director. He has proven it many times.
If, after you watch this movie or even while you watch this movie, you get a very strong feeling of being sick or disgusted then the purpose of this film has been fulfilled. It is disgusting and pungent and putrid. For me, if a film is able to convey these feelings from me then it's as effective as a thriller where the suspense is created or comedy where laughter is the product or romance where lovey-dovey emotions are pooped out.
This is an ugly film and it embraces that completely, it is gratuitous and artistic only in the sense of the balance of what Akin shows or not and can still be effective.
I need a shower now.
