Umami

WHAT A MOVIE Watching BURAK from Ask laftan anlamaz and have watched almost all of his dramas and films but this one is so beautiful and addictive you can't move your eyes from the screen even for 1 second the emotions all the characters show and portray and the way they are fighting with each other but still care for each other too its very difficult to show in a movie and I cried a lot today specially in the last part of the movie I don't know why it's not talk of the town you should definitely give it a shot you won't regret it it's in Turkish though but there are English subtitles available every scene was perfect loved it.

The movie is 90% copy of Boiling Point, and a very terrible copy. I didn't even like Boiling Point, but this is whole another level.

Terrible acting and casting. Some performances are cringe-worthy. The dialogues feel artificial, and the script is lazily written. None of the people working in the kitchen actually feel like they belong there. It doesn't look or feel like a real kitchen at all.

With the whole chef and kitchen theme becoming popular thanks to "The Bear", this just feels like a money grab. Definitely not worth your time. It is a terrible copy of an already mediocre movie. Watch The Bear instead.

"Umami" is a visually rich and well-directed film that captures the intensity of the fine dining world. Burak Deniz delivers a strong performance as a chef balancing ambition and personal struggles. The acting is generally strong, making the characters feel authentic and relatable.

I couldn't help but feel echoes of Boiling Point in the film's tension and single-night setting.

The directing stands out, creating an immersive atmosphere, but some subplots feel underdeveloped, leaving the story slightly lacking. Still, Still, Umami serves up a compelling story with a rich blend of tension, emotion, and culinary artistry.

A fascinating film, great performances, excellent camera direction, photography, being a film in one take it immerses you in the whole chaotic world inside the restaurant, at every table, every person there is an emotional world, I felt tense, nervous all the time, you have to watch it non-stop, in one sitting, in fact you can't pause once you start, internal crises don't allow you to, man, everyone was very good, you can really notice the effort of many people.

And when you see that it is a film by Mr. BURAK DENIZ you know that it comes with a seal of quality, his performance as the chef Sina Bora is simply brilliant, splendid, the guy has so much emotional conflict, you can feel it, his dramatic scenes alone and with Öykü were wonderful, Deniz, surpasses himself, he always transmits so many emotions without exaggerating, for 5 years he has offered great characters, different plots in different genres.

I would definitely watch it again without getting bored. I hope there is a second part because until the end it was great.

My rating is 9/10, and 100 for Burak Deniz for his excellent performanc.

We can say that it is a great movie! With great actors! Wow, Burak Deniz, this man, this man showed his character's emotions and bad mood so well that all the emotions were transferred to me. Oyko Karail's acting cannot be ignored. The others were also very good, but there were a few bad points! The camera shake was very bad and made me dizzy, the film was slow and annoying. It did not have a good ending, it could have ended much better, the emotions were very real and understandable, and this would have made it truly a drama genre. And although this movie is an adaptation, in this era when all movies, whether romantic or otherwise, have scenes and references to sexual topics and relationships, and this way they attract viewers, but here we have a beautiful relationship between a couple and a true love and affection.... It was beautiful!
