I agree with everything you say. I loved this film by Denis Gamze Ergüven. Not only does it pass the test it also empowers women, apart from looking beautiful and exuding soulful music.

The film shows the social status of girls in the past and the feudal cultural customs. Girls live a prison like life without freedom. Can't go out to play, can't do what they like. It seems that from the birth of a girl, her life has been planned.
