Bravo!

You seem to apply dramatic rules while transposing a script to another language and towards another viewer, yet you fail - 'cause you know what, some of them already watched the original movie, and knows the play script. You fail because you don't care about what "obsession" means. Take for example the "obsession" of the seemingly main character: Tourette. Does Tourette syndrome mean exposing unrevealed sexual instincts without any consciousness (by such direct "hit on words" like "yalarim", "o göte bülbül öte" and so on) ? Shame on you for debasing such a complicated disease to an underrated laugh material...

By the way, I am turkish and ashamed of you...

Some films don't just make you a part of a story; they take you on a profound mental journey. Obsessions is precisely one of those films. The director masterfully tackles the complex subject of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) while blending it with the aesthetics of a theatrical play, delivering a unique cinematic experience.

The movie tells the story of a group of individuals whose lives are shaped by their obsessions. However, instead of a traditional narrative, the story unfolds like a theatrical performance. The characters' inner worlds are vividly expressed through dialogues that, combined with striking stage-like decor, draw the audience directly into the heart of the scene.

Obsessions successfully raises awareness about OCD, showing not only how it affects individuals but also its impact on those around them. The film's humorous elements and heartfelt moments make it easy for the audience to connect with the characters, all while highlighting the strength found in solidarity.

This film is not just for those living with OCD or those wanting to learn more about it-it's a masterpiece for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human psychology. If you're looking for an emotional and thought-provoking experience, Obsessions deserves a spot on your watchlist. Leaving the theater, you might find yourself saying, "When was the last time I laughed this much? I can't remember."

The movie is adapted from a French play and similarly to the play aims at getting very important messages across while making you laugh. I believe it reaches its goal very well. People expecting a simple comedy will be disappointed as the stories might get your eyes teary in some parts as it actually threads very serious subjects. The cast is very talented, the comedy and drama well balanced. I believe that if you watch it without preconceived expectations you will be pleasantry surprised by the range of emotions it will carry you through. We spend so much of the time worrying about our problems and issues that we are blind and sometimes insensitive to what others are going through, whereas sometimes even our own problems can be alleviated while we concentrate on being kind to others...

Six individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder find their paths intersecting at the office of Orhan Kerim Baykal, a specialist whose area of expertise isn't specified (presumably a psychiatrist, perhaps to avoid offending any particular profession). They've all been scheduled for the same appointment time. Even the doctor's secretary is quite quirky. I personally found the taxi driver with a counting compulsion the most relatable. // This is a Turkish adaptation of the 2017 Spanish film "Toc Toc." Beyond providing employment for those in the film industry, the necessity of such localizations escapes me. I definitely suspect a degree of laziness and a desire for an easy payday are at play. Thankfully, in contrast to the widespread practice before the 2000s, the original creative team now receives royalties, which offers some peace of mind. // This film is a notch above something you'd just passively watch on TV while multitasking. At the very least, they haven't made any catastrophic errors.

I left halfway through the movie .

This is what the movie is about, obsessions .

Each character suffers from a different obsession , but it is exaggeratedly acted . Mental journey ? If you do not have mind , obviously ...........

I didn't find it funny at all , in fact , I found it tedious, when it is supposed to be a comedy .

The acting is very exaggerated , especially Seda Bakan , who acts the same way in all her projects .

Seda always needs a star at her side so that people talk about her .

If you want to waste time and money , go see it .

I would have preferred to see another movie.
