Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Thanks for the team for this amazing drama, i wish i watched before. It pointed many aspects of conservatism and raise women problems in Turkey and similar countries. I hope it will help to increase consciousness.
What if The Virgin Suicides (1999) live in village in Turkey nowadays? They would be wise, rebellious, loving, curious but in the end they would be only seen as an object that should be well prepared for man. Very enchanting movie about narrow-minded, aggressive and discriminating society.
You'll see an orientalist Turkish director who alienates her surroundings to be seen positive in the west. And she knows sex sells. This movie is about sex, and white washing the western culture of sexism. You got it when politicians like European Union staff honors such a movie. Politicians ain't love art, they use it. This film makes western people proud by telling that only east has gender problem which is falsified by the film itself by showing a lot of teen legs to make it watchable.No art, no objectivism, a lot of sexism by the sexists.
I couldn't understand how this movie got these high scores. It is unfair to all good movies have been produced in the world. The story is universal (it is given)- especially for the Muslim countries- But if we are talking about movies here, if we make critics according the movie lines, sorry but there is no good acting, no good picture, no good storytelling, no honesty... As a Turkish woman I can say that the story is real but the drama in the movie is not acted good so it lost everything. If a girl live in a rural part of Turkey she knows how to act, how to react, how to dress, how to talk. And the real bad part of the story starts there. Although they act according the traditions they may force to marry or raped or tortured. They are not free from the beginning, they are not like big city girls who live in İstanbul. On the other hand the girls in the movie act like city girls and suddenly came to live in a rural part of Turkey in a family which they knew nothing about their philosophy of life, the traditions. They act like New Yorkers. Probably it is because, one of the writers (Alice Winocour) is not Turkish and Deniz Gamze Ergüven (director and writer) I guess didn't spend much time in Turkey especially in the rural areas, didn't listen real stories. While I was watching the movie I felt like the writers asked themselves "What is one of the biggest major problems Turkish woman deal with? Not being free (?!), have to obey elders, behave according the traditions, OK lets match them and write a story on a computer. As I mentioned at the beginning the story line is real but those girls in the movie are not real, they don't fit the girls who live in a rural part of Turkey. Sorry but the movie couldn't give the real drama it is like a newly graduated person's movie. We are not discussing if the story in the movie real or not here, we are discussing the storytelling in a movie. This makes the movie good or bad. There are lots of second world war movies but we remember the movies like Pianist, Schindler's list... Real stories with good storytelling, good picture, good drama...
