Les cendres

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.

Good director(Erdem Tepegoz), good scenarist(Erdi Isik), wonderfull cast(Funda Eryigit, Alperen Korkmaz, Mehmet Gunsur)...unfortunately the result is not satisfactory. The idea of the plot is interesting . But i think that the screenplay is written in a hurry.. needs elaboration and more toughts. On the other hand the characters are not well developed. They are unidimensional. The link with Anna Karenina is ridiculous . Laughed a lot at the final scene. We are not expecting art movies from Netflix but we still deserve better works. As i've mentioned earlier most of the latest contents of Netflix started to be below average.

The movie characters are just copies of countless cliches, acting is bland and the scenario feels like an attempt of a romantic movie by a generative AI. The cheating wife has been overused, the life they show you is not realistic.

There is no character development other than sprinkling some cliches on each character. The wife owns a cute shop, the other man is a mysterious, poor but trustworthy person.

If I was an actor I would be ashamed to be part of something like this. I would stop writing if I was the writer behind this. I would stop directing movies if I was the director who filmed this.

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.
