Papillons

After a long time l watched something different, satisfiying and tastefull.

It was a family problems oriented road trip drama/comedy. There were fun parts I couldn't help laughing but also bitter parts. The storyline was OK. The cinematography was good. A few points to note:

The things I liked: -I enjoyed the road trip part. Especially the dialogs and songs. -Both male actors were good in most of the parts of the movie. -Dubbing actor's "interesting" (absurd) accident detail was unexpected and fun.

The things I didn't like: -The leading female actor did not perform well throughout the movie at all. -The ending was unexpected but boring and nonsense. -The visual effects would be much better.

I'm not going to pretend I'm a film critic, a student studying film or anyone else who has any authority on deeming films to be good or bad. I'm just a film savvy average Joe.

I loved this movie because it was good fun, and that's what this movie was about. It's not trying to be anything other than fun. It's one of the few films where you can get a good laugh from one scene and tear-up in grief from another one. Acting was solid, situations seemed relatable. Except for some obviously tongue-in-cheek moments, the comedy wasn't absurd (as is usual in Turkish comedies) Good drama, some very emotional scenes, and good comedy were blended very well in my opinion. The story built suspense and the director trolls the audience hard.

All in all, a very enjoyable film, money well spent, and a very welcome addition to Turkish cinema.

This is a gem of a comedy, daring and creative, with many layers of profoundness. It surprises the audience with twists that are both hilarious and moving, keeping people interested and amused by unexpected shifts in the narrative. Highly recommended.

This film reminded me of the brothers Woody Allen and Coen. And I tasted Wes Craven. I would recommend to those who want to watch a different movie.
