Av: The Hunt Storyline

Police officer Sedat raids a derelict apartment squatted by a young couple. The man is killed, the young woman, Ayse, escapes. When her friends and relatives offer no help, Ayse is forced to steal cash and a car from her father and flee town like an outlaw. The chase goes deeper into the wild. Along with three men he has recruited, Sedat is pursuing her, out to kill in the name of honor. Taking off from the suburbs of Anatolia, Av: The Hunt continues reaching breath-taking natural landscapes, and recounts how a young woman is pulled into spiral of violence while trying to escape the patriarchal society she lives in.—yusufpiskin

Av: The Hunt Movie Reviews

High relevance but average

Turkish movie important in the denunciation of honor crimes still cruelly perpetrated against women, in a country that is candidate to enter the European Union, practically unpunished. It is commonly accepted in this patriarchal society. I recognize the relevance of the issue, but in my opinion is a only reasonable movie, nothing innovative. I have seen this theme dealt with much more strength in the seventh art. Don’t make history, but it does contribute to change the present in Turkey. I recommend it only for its relevance.

Imperfect but not bad

Not perfect by any means, but I enjoyed it. The camerawork had its moments, the acting was good. It’s a movie that really gets you on the edge of your seat and makes you empathize with and root for (some of) the characters. I will say that the ending was a bit of a bummer – as someone else has said, left an open wound. Still, I would recommend this one.

Tense chase throughout running time without weak moments. Still more relevant is the social commentary

Saw this at the Imagine filmfestival, usually in Amsterdam but now 100% online. Indeed, a tense chase throughout the running time with no weak moments. However, we saw such chases in many other movies. The sole purpose of this one is to show the lowly position of women in that country, being the possession of men who can do whatever they want when she crosses the line. It is something we already knew, though an intense showcase like we see here serves very well to revive that notion. The social commentary is thus the core of the story. The finale leaves all involved empty handed, everyone looses.
