Le violon de mon père

It's a type of movie you can watch with ur family, have bit of laugh, get bit of emotional. I loved the kid and her energy for this movie. Don't expect it to be really serious or find flaws here and there. Some stuff doesn't make sense but still it's a movie and not real life.

Move along.cynics. This movie isn't for you. During these bleak times, I'd rather watch movies full of hope and redemption, while not ignoring our darker, selfish natures. Believe it or not, even the worst of us have the capacity to change, and become more loving and caring people.

Several times throughout this movie, I predicted what would happen next, and yet I still had joyful chills when my predictions came true. In spite of its predictability, it accomplishes telling a story of selfishness conquering selfishness, without a single bit of cheesiness.

I went to bed happy, rather than filled with dread. What's so wrong with that?

This was a beautiful movie, quite honestly. I was in tears several times, laughing and just so engrossed in this uncle and niece relationship coming together. Yes it has its cliche moments, but the perspective of how a child really can change your life in many different ways was beautifully portrayed and I couldn't pull away from the movie regardless of how predictable it was. Just wonderful acting and beautiful music!

I'm a little biased when it comes to the beautiful Belcim Bilgin, I will watch anything she is in and the little girl did a great job!. The storyline was fairly predictable and you knew where it was going. I watch movies to be entertained, not criticise and I'd have been disappointed had it not ended the way it did.

I love Turkish movies, they seem to be devoid of of the special effects the Hollywood movies depend on these days and they have a knack of holding your interest throughout.

A simple plot, predictable plot..story that will tug at your heartstrings..although run-of-the-mill dialogues, a much cliche sequences with obvious gaps such as a missing depiction of child's reaction and emotions after losing her only parent, somewhat incongruous pieces in the story but overall the story glides fluidly, it is riveting that forces you to overlook the glitches.. filmed in Istanbul and good cinematography but above all, it is the violin that fills one's heart with joy and captivates through out .. the compositions are indeed a treat to the ears.. This movie will not leave you cold.
