The subject of so-called "honour killings" is both very topical and very awkward to deal with in the pluralistic West these days. This film makes as good an effort as any to delve into the underlying cultural pressures behind the phenomenon with some decent performances and a no-holds-barred approach. Some of the plotting, alas, is too contrived to stand up to close scrutiny, and some of the protagonists choices do not seem to follow any sort of real logic. Well worth seeing and judging for yourself, however.
