Love Me Instead

It's been more than half an hour since I finished watching the movie and I still couldn't recover from the hole it opened in my soul. Very well knitted sad story of a father is being told along with great acting by talented Turkish actors. Well done guys. Very well done.

The acting was superb cinematography was fine music was fine a little long but what I really couldn't get over is the whole moral code of a father protecting his daughter now I have lived in the Middle East a large part of my life and I've also known a lot of Turkish people both in Istanbul and in the states they are very strong in their convictions in general but this morality play Has to be updated -even for turkey It plays like something more from maybe the third or fourth century. Like Lebanon turkey was once a very modern state for that area.

I really loved this movie. Very well directed,interesting,great acting. Pure drama,with plot twists. Raises social issues as well. Sarp Akkaya gives an acting recital,as always.

A drama that is also a thriller. A movie that is dramatic with social issues - but also with quite a few twists along the way. And a movie in general that maybe thinks it's way more clever than it actually is. That being said, this is more than a solid effort overall and the acting really elevates it. Even when it is borderline and you are thinking that it may be a bit too much what you are getting served.

But to what lengths a father wouldn't go to find out the truth? But what truth is it? And will it be sufficient? And how easily can you manipulate someone like that? All questions that are more than valid. A strange ending to say the least, with strange emotions ... but depending on your moral views and connections to the characters it will either work or not ...

I was searching on Netflix what film to watch and this caught my interest. It has all the ingredients of a good film. It's one of those films that make you think rather than let the film think for you.

I really enjoyed it, the acting is superb, the small details such as the guitar playing in the background, the rundown drug infested town the gaunt looks of the drug users the scene where you see the dead body of Musa's daughter all added to this film.

It's one of those films where you are emotionally involved and it leaves you thinking about it for the next few days.

I would definitely recommend you to watch.
