Winners is a sophisticated drama that challenges conventional assimilationist narratives. By placing a Kurdish-Syrian narrative within the multicultural landscape of Berlin-Wedding, the film disrupts the archetype of a homogeneous West. The film excels at centering the voices of displaced individuals. It uses the protagonist's refugee status to examine the nuances of identity and the systemic barriers faced by newcomers in a metropolitan setting. While the film provides strong representation for ethnic and gendered identities, it lacks specific information regarding LGBTQ+ themes or disability representation.
