About Arif is a Turkish drama and romance that centers a non-Western cast. By featuring a Turkish production, it moves away from Anglo-Saxon-centric storytelling. However, the film lacks the necessary narrative detail to assess deeper identity politics. There is no evidence of subverting traditional gender hierarchies or exploring LGBTQ+ identities.
