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 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.

I watched this movie at theater today, and read many of the reviews on the internet and I found it, such below-average movie, being romanticized.

As a Turkish viewer, all the dialogues are sound so rough that as if they are chosen, only to make the interpretation more simpler. Apart from that, dialogues stayed very simple and untidy that they were almost no two consecutive sentences said through the characters. And because of that all the characters stayed flat throughout the movie; they had a story to tell, but not much to say. There were gaps in the dialogues where audience are expected to laugh. This made the situation ironically sadder. I do not, even, want to mention about the ending, but I have to say that it was like a big cringy-joke. Throughout the movie, a kind of romanticism is 'wanted' to given and it is ended up in a mess.

Even though I find myself very open about the film diversity, such movies that ridicule audience is not the type that I like. I am very sorry to say that while watching it, I counted the minutes till the end.

I absolutely loved this director's previous film Ivy, hence the disappointment in this movie was doubled after watching it.

I didn't think any of the characters were likable. The "there are random things happening, therefore it should be considered funny" concept was uninteresting and not funny. Everyone was constantly repeating each others sentences with a question mark in the end, which i found to be pretty lazy writing. There were way too many unnecesarry conversations/scenes that did not serve any purpose to the progression of the story. I'm finding it hard to find an aspect of this film that is better than very bad.

The movie is about 3 reunited siblings who hear from their father after 30 years and their journey to the countryside to see him.

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.
