'Sunrise over Lake Van' is very mundane. It features a couple of nicely shot bits, some solid use of flashbacks and a pleasant end few scenes but the vast majority of this 2011 release is very plain and poorly paced. On paper it's a good story, but in reality it's kinda difficult to keep watching - and that's with it only lasting for around 95 minutes. Not good, unfortunately.
