Yilbasi Gecesi

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.

This Gulse Birsen movie is one of the best movies ever. There was "Aile Arasinda" movie Which was also written by Gulse Birsen. That movie was also very good.

I dont want to tell details about the movie but i love all characters. It is very very comic, funny, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes ironic. I watched it 4 times already and each time i saw other details. There are so many funny details in the movie. I highly advice people to watch it. Since it is in turkish, i am not sure How it will be in English but it definetely worths to watch it even in English as well.

Congradulations to all actors and actresses and Gulse Birsen.

I watch the film with seven other people. Our ages were between 19-45. I can't really understand the negative reviews, I think they go back more to the connotations regarding the political situation in Turkey. So more defamation of a Gülse Birsel film than a real review. Anyway, we all thought the film was great. We laughed heartily and had great fun. Of course, the film appeals more to Turkish humor, but it's still funny and entertaining. Great ensemble, interlinking of the stories, good situational comedy and comprehensible twists do the rest.

Maybe the only thing is that it was definitely shot in a warmer month. That rather dampens the new year's eve mood than it should, but in Antalya you can still go swimming at that time.

Gulse Birsel, one of the notable names of contemporary Turkish comedy made a new year's eve movie definitely worth watching. The movie is very good since it presents Gulse Birsel's humor but in a more critical sense. The movie brings stark criticisms towards contemporary Turkish society and the aura of Turkish politics through the characters that come together incidentally in a new year's eve night celebration during a Covid-19 lockdown. Those well-played characters are people who we know from our lives. In today's Turkey, Gulse Birsel made a blunt, political yet a naive comedy which we missed. The crew, the characters they play and the acting is also very good, except the lack of chemistry between Fatih Aritman and Sebnem Bozoklu.

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.
