In guten Händen

Great script. The story at first does not seem to make complete sense, yet as the story progresses the writer/characters connect all the pieces for us beautifully. All is explained. Live the journey.

Innocence, love, courage, redemptiom. It is all there.

Beautiful Asli Enver (Melisa) delivers subtly powerful, graceful acting. Kaan Urcangioliu (Ferit) shines in this role. Both actors are seductive, with endearing smiles when they need them to lighten reality. They pull you in, leaving you wanting more. A twist - A story of first love. It shows the acceptance, strength, and joy of raising a child as a single mother - no victim theme. The chemistry between the actors - gorgeous. The scenes with Ferit and Can, the boy, make you laugh and cry.

Many unique scenes and details in the story make this one-of-a kind movie. A must-watch for those who like romantic dramas with a touch of comedy. The drama was kept honest, we were even spared from some of it.

LIFE happens, and is unexpected. The end is natural, acknowledges sadness, yet offers hope for the future. Loved it!!

Good acting but predictable and banal plot, predictable story, just enough. Unfortunately, these Turkish films that mimic American comedies are not convincing.

Beautiful script, great actors. However, there are cuts in the story setup, the context is not fully settled and you have a hard time living the story. The second movie should come urgently and this beautiful love story should be sweetened and painted with miracles. WE NEEEEEED IT AND GIVE US HOPEEEEEE

love,

This was a beautiful but sad film and I highly recommend it. I have come to expect tragic love stories from Turkish film and novels, so I wasn't surprised when I had to break out the tissues before the end. There is some beautiful art, some sweet comedy with a little boy, and a great twist that I wasn't expecting...and really made me love the film more.

The general plot is a single mom has been given a terminal diagnosis in which she has five months to live. She used to be an art student and now works as a waitress in a cafe, but other than one friend, who seems to need a mother herself, she has no support and thus no one to take care of her son when she dies. After meeting this arrogant bachelor at a coffee shop with her son, she seemingly sets out to seduce him into falling in love with both of them...without telling him she is dying. I can't tell you any more without revealing the twist, but suffice it to say that things aren't as sinister as they seem. There is a missing piece of the puzzle.

There are some wonderful scenes between the five year old son and the potential suitor for his mom, especially when he comes up with some tests of his worthiness. I love the scene in the car where there is mimicking with sun glasses. Asli Enver (of Istanbullu Gelin fame-which she is also fabulous in) is marvelous as our single mother Melissa, she is natural, beautiful and talent as she even gets to use her singing voice to charm her prey. Kaan Urgancioglu (of Ask 101 fame) is not to be outdone and is excellent as the handsome bachelor CEO.

This is a wonderful heartbreaking love story that is tragic but worth watching. I recommend this film to all you romantics out there...and it might even be a good film to watch for Father's Day (especially with its ending along with the film About Time).

In Good Hands, a tear jerker movie about a single mom who's dying and she does not know who's going to take care of her son who is just a kid after she is gone. But this isn't just a movie which will make you cry - it's also a kid comedy and a romantic movie also as heroine of this movie meets a man who may take care of her son. Director tried to put so many emotions in this movie. In case you are fan of Soap Operas than watch it otherwise skip this movie.
