Limonata

First of all i want to start with director. He is really a jack of all trades. I believe as an actor (in leyla and mecnun) he was ok, as a singer also. When i watch his movie, i feel the same for him, as a director also. He reminds me another Jack of all trades person - Cem Yilmaz. Ertan Saban as a Macedonian-Turkish actor is the best selection and fits this role 100%. I believe closing scene is not what i was expecting and could be better. Overall, i believe viewers can relate/link the characters very easily with someone they know in their lives. So movie captures the attention of viewers easily.

I am also far from my homeland and that is why when I started to watch the movie I remembered the hardships of a foreigner and I found closeness in the character of Sakip. However after they leave for Bulgaria, I do not think movie is developing towards good, it is not developing at all. Dialogues are not the job of professionals at all. Sometimes you feel that they put that scene to just fill in the blanks. Too much bad language,always drinking and anger in every situation puts audience in a bad mood as movie rolls. Swearing that much,I think,beats even "Snatch". Acting was good especially of Sakip (Saban), directing not so much, but I see that it was the first job of Ali Atay. Scenario is not great, it has a great beginning but not a good ending, dialogues are like the whole film crew were in a hurry. Anger and swearing killed that closeness that I talked about earlier. And I saw at the end of the movie it was dedicated to someone's father and wife, I would not send a present full of negativity (anger and swearing) to my loved ones. I would send a present where there was at least a little bit of love. Yeah love is the missing part in this move. I am not talking about that "love", I am talking about compassion. Anyway,aren't the most movies reflecting the spiritual (psychological) condition of the directors.

Limonata is a movie you will enjoy a lot if you have sympathy for road trip movies . It contains drama and mostly comedy . Fantastic cinematography!I think that as a director Ali Atay is very promising and just wanted to congratulate him for his good work in his first movie and contribution to the Turkish cinema.

According to me it is a movie that you can watch it without bored or looking the how many minutes it has left. I kinda like it because i am not totally stranger to the this movie and its atmosphere, the relationship between people, the middle class people who have both happiness and sadness in their heart.

The movie contains both drama and comedy but we mostly see the comedy side, even in the sad scenes the director lets us to be happy, lets us to see part be smiling at. But deep inside let us to feel dramatic.

besides that we see in the movie we also see how Balkans are, how they treat other people. of course it is not about that but for me it is important detail.

anyway. good cast, good acting.

Good cast, good acting.

Makes you feel in the movie and film musics embrace the soul of human. Masterpiece with one word...
