Brides – REVIEW

The film follows two young women who leave their small town school and travel to Turkey, intending to reach the Syrian border. The story unfolds primarily through their journey, interwoven with flashbacks to their lives in the UK and the reasons behind their decision to leave. After arriving in Turkey and being told to wait for someone who never comes, they’re forced to navigate the journey to the border on their own. They encounter a group of people who seem to offer the community they were seeking, but the film ultimately reveals they’ve entered a much more dangerous and uncontrollable situation, leaving them vulnerable and at the mercy of their circumstances as teenage girls in a foreign country.
