✗ SKIP — Not worth it

The New World

2015 · 1h 45m · Drama

IMDb 6.9

This is a heavy, character-driven drama about a family in crisis that just barely clears the bar at 6.9—it's solid but not essential viewing. If you're in the mood for something emotionally grounded and don't need a feel-good escape tonight, it's worth your time; otherwise, skip it for something with more spark.

Plot

A couple moves from the country to istanbul to get proper schooling for their son, who has Down syndrome. However, the house they move to will be demolished in a number of months, the father can't get a job and has to resort to begging. Meanwhile, the stipend for their son's disability they'd thought they'd get when moving to the city and which they were depending on to live and pay for his school, is suddenly in doubt.
