Ivy

Ivy (Sarmaşık, 2015) is a Turkish-German psychological thriller from Tolga Karaçelik you can watch online on iFILM. A cargo ship sits stranded in port after its owner goes bankrupt, and six crew members are ordered to stay aboard until the legal mess is sorted out.

Weeks stretch into months. No wages arrive, no shore leave is granted, supplies run thin, and the rusting hull starts to feel less like a workplace than a cage. The old chain of command frays, resentment festers between the captain, the first mate, and the deckhands, and reality slowly slips into something feverish. Karaçelik keeps you guessing whether what unfolds is paranoia or something stranger. Nadir Saribacak and Özgür Emre Yıldırım lead the small ensemble.

It's slow, airless, claustrophobic cinema for viewers who like festival-grade psychological drama set in a floating dead end. Stream Ivy (2015) online on iFILM.
