Yilbasi Gecesi

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.

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.

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.

Im glad to see Im not the only one whos disappointed After Aile Arasnda I was hoping Glse Birsel would make me go to the cinema for a Turkish comedy film However it was difficult complete to this movie without getting bored even at home I didnt like to leave it unfinished so I finished the movie but the other family members fell asleep The movie gives off a forced feeling both with its jokesthe feeling that something is going to happen at any moment in the sequences it doesntand with its acting performances in general Except for a few small scenes you cannot empathize with the character and miss their positive and negative experiences The lines are mostly unrealistic and feel like they havent been given much attention It was a pity for me who thought that he would watch a really good movie I hope we can see a development in a different direction in the next films.

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.
