Yilbasi Gecesi

Gulse Birsel should either stop writing screenplays or re-learn. Although this movie is a comedy movie, it is not funny in the least. Cliché comedy elements are used. There is no creativity. It's a shame for the money Disney+ paid for this movie. Watching the whole movie is a complete waste of time.

Gulse Birsel constantly writes scripts with strange characters based on rich families. This movie is an example of Birsel's previous work, but one of her worst. While watching this movie, you will never smile, let alone laugh, because the movie is so bad.

If you want to watch a movie and have fun in the new year, do not choose this movie.

Ms Birsel used to make modern comedies, making you really laugh for more than 15 years. Characters, scripts, set-up are mismatched in this movie. Script is based on a rich family's New Year Eve gathering with their neighbors, which that don't know much at all. She is also an actress in this movie, like all of her movies. Her performance is not linked to the character. Cengiz Bozkurt and Boran Kuzum were very good. Her last movie (Aile Arasinda) was on 2017 and her performance both as the script writer and actress were far better. Director of the both movies are the same. All the other actress/actors seems to do well; still the movie cannot entertain you, script failure. Was not funny at all.

Haters are gonna hate...

Gulse Birsel has a different path when compared with the other writers, she is a good observer and knows how to reflect Turkish streotypes to the movie. Yilbasi Gecesi (New Year's Eve) is perfect example which contains different characters from different cultures in Turkey.

I laughed a lot and additonally I felt a lot. Please ignore the haters and trolls. Even If you do not have sense of humour, the movie is still worth watching. Conflicts, dialoges, metamorphosis... All is awesome, I love this movie a lot like all other Gulse's works. If you like this movie, you can also love aile arasinda as well.

I found the film tragicomic and watched it (especially the last 20 minutes) in tears instead of cheer.

Though the themes such as how the political correctness shows itself in the secular Turkish society and how the youth coming from different intellectual and sociological background deal with the moral issues were worked out with humor, that did not suffice to overcome the despair of the upper class family overall. The discontent of the family, who is throwing the party, has never been resolved from the beginning to the end.

Overall the aim of the film of giving hope and joy regarding of the name "new year's eve" has not been achieved.

The film is available since 31/12, 17 days total. Ratings are already crashing. If I was the producer, I'd retire and live in a far away village till people forget my name.

If anyone gave more than 5 stars, they either get paid for it or has no taste at all.

This is not funny. Not witty. Not worth a kurus with a hole in it.

Too long, too crowded, too little knots in the plot and the twists are fewer than that. There goes the comedy factor.

Every actor was playing a blurry copy of their previous and well known roles. You get distracted and start to think why and when this guy got married to this woman. The young man was a disaster. The helper of the singer was the only natural, fit to role actor.

Remember the "Party" of Peter Sellers? Yilbasi Gecesi is the thing you'll get if you try to tell it in Taboo.
