Ceniza

In the movie, Türkiye and Turks are pictured as if they are Iranians, Araps or Afgans.

Balat is a very nice part of the city. In Balat you can find very modern coffees, chef's restaurants, beautiful scenery of Halic. It is not a place where you can buy spices, it is not a spice bazaar. It is very disgusting to show places and people in a way where the truth is not reflected.

The movie itself is also horrible. Characters are very superficial. A lonely rich woman, a rich and busy man, a wild and poor man. These are the prototypes and even a normal person can write such a text with these superficial characters. I wanted to rate it with a zero but it is not possible. Horrible.

Congratulations to those who made such a terrible, unrealistic movie. Mehmet Günsür will be in a terrible movie in his career, it's a pity. The movie makes you say that it's a pity for all the expenses and efforts, it's as worthless as ash like its name. The only good thing about it is the beautiful images of Istanbul. The cinematographer did a good job, but the cast, script and directing can be taught as a lesson on how to make a terrible movie in schools that teach cinema. If you want to torture yourself, it can be a nice torture tool, it is a sad that something like this comes out of this geography, Turkey, which has a lot of original stories to tell.

Everyhing in this low budget clishé movie is overused to the point of losing all meaning.

Made me want to cancel Netflix subscription.

This cliché romance cheating wife movie relies heavily on tired tropes and predictable plot twists, failing to offer any originality or depth. The characters are one-dimensional, the dialogue feels forced, and the emotional stakes are undermined by shallow storytelling. The portrayal of infidelity lacks nuance, reducing complex human relationships to superficial melodrama. Overall, it's a forgettable and uninspired addition to the genre, offering little substance or genuine insight into the complexities of love and betrayal.

As the first reviewer states, Netflix is a major player in the streaming movie game, and this is advertised as one of the "most watched" or "popular" movie. So me being me, I decided to tune in to see for myself why this movie is rated as "popular" by netflix. Man i tell you I wish I would have passed this mess of a movie up.

The acting is completely over-bearing and portrayed exactly like their drama coach would have advised. The over-acting blends well with the complete crappy music that drones on in the background. Most soap operas are done better than this, but I suspect they made and completed the film in less than a month as its release date is 2024.

If you decide to pass up this film feel good about it, because you are not missing much.

Streaming services have begun to attract independent/art-house cinema screenwriters and directors not only in Turkey but also in the world. And filmmakers welcome this offer because these services provide them with a freer and richer space.

Netflix, in particular, has dominated almost all awards in the world for the last 10 years.

And thanks to this, we watched many successful movies...

So, we can look at why this mathematics does not work in Turkey through this movie.

Director ; virtue overhead .... we know from art-house/independent works.

Most of the actors, writers, cinematographers... The cast is almost made up of such people.

So why wasn't this movie made? Because no matter who is in front of or behind the camera, the label on the movie is ay production and this movie is nothing more than a typical ay production series.

Unless the monopoly of the streaming company in Turkey is broken, there is no way we can watch Roma.

We have talented cinema workers and sufficient technical infrastructure...

As usual, there is no production company that comes from TV. Channel D, ATV series, where it is easier to make love, swear, alcohol and cigarettes are not censored = Turkish works on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime etc.
