"Güneşe Yolculuk" is a captivating and touching film with realistic acting and really nice cinematography. The story's themes, such as racism, police violence and the struggles of the working class, have a self-evident gravitas, and the fact that they are tackled in an unpretentious manner makes their impact even bigger. Yeşim Ustaoğlu's material is strong and she knows both how to let it speak for itself and how to amplify it with her shot composition instead of spoon-feeding it to the viewer.
