Editor’s note: A concise editor’s note on Crossing (2024): This drama piece bears a deeply personal touch. Under the direction of Levan Akin, the movie maintains a consistent flow and a vivid sense of its setting. The performances, particularly by Mzia Arabuli, Lucas Kankava, and Deniz Dumanlı, add emotional depth to the story. Spanning 1 hour 46 minutes, the film progresses at a thoughtful pace without lingering on scenes excessively. While it isn’t flawless, its strengths significantly overshadow a few minor issues. The tagline—“It seems Istanbul is a place where people come to disappear”—captures its essence beautifully. If this premise resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
