Unutursam Fisilda

for the acting, for the smart use of clichés, for the inspired recreation of "60's atmosphere. and, sure, for Gozde Cigaci. a sentimental movie about success and about family. not real original but useful. as moral lesson, as seductive portrait of a period, as tool to discover new side of old Turkey . and for music, the emotions of an age, the war to redefine the present after painful crash. far to be great, it could be useful. as a kind of time travel because it reminds basic facts who remains ingredients of many artistic careers and basis for stardom. because it is an old fashion definition of family. and, sure, for the end who could give a serious dose of sadness to romantic public. a film about the price of success. from an admirable cast and director.

A good film, emotional and heart-breaking but entertaining at the same time.

I found this movie quite an original one, although I guess there are similar movies in the Hollywood scene that I have not watched. The most beautiful part of the movie was of course the music - Kenan Dogulu has done an amazing job of creating 70s/80s style music from scratch. And Farah made an amazing work performing them. The scenes are colorful, cinematography is rich, dialogues warm and kind. I liked how the story unfolded slowly and sweetly, opening new layers to the drama. The relationship between the family members was very realistic, very Turkish. Yet there was a lot of modern universal sentiment to it. The actors are superb! Both the old ones and the young ones.

Looking forward to more of Cagan Irmak's original movies like this.

As someone who has witnessed Alzheimer's first hand and lived through it with my family I was drawn to this film based on the initial plot summary. The portrayal of the family relationships and the interactions and behaviors was very real and honest. Everything is not always as it seems with people and their lives. There is a price to pay often for success. The scenes were very realistic and honest and had good dialogues. I appreciated how they ease you into the story and the dig deeper into the drama. How the story unfolded slowly and sweetly, opening new layers to the drama. As I'm becoming a huge Turkish movie and Tv fan I love the family dynamics and how it's not to terribly different from most families. A great mix of traditional and modern patterns. The acting was excellent by all.

One of the best films of Turkish cinema. Far from American influence, authentic and local enough. We need more good films for the development of Turkish cinema.
