Kivanc Tatlitug is now a good player. But the movie was boring. They exploited too much emotion. But the film goes already knowing that. He who does not watch will not lose anything.

It was very lucky to have this movie here in the UK with english subtitles and it was even more lucky for me to have been able to watch it with a fellow dedicated Kivancster with all her busy lifestyle (the humble and warm Anna) It was a cold and freezing typical english winter day we both took a day off from work and started our Friday morning early getting ready to head to the North of London for Hadi Be Oglum, as we sat down for the movie I was a bit nervous as there was a big excitement and anticipation for the movie.The film started and Kivanc appeared on the big screen(looking tanned and most handsome he's ever been!) with a hint of comedy we all laughed.Kivanc has such a good facial expressions for acting whether it is comedy or emotional scenes, with Kivanc i laugh or cry just before he even says a word by looking at his facial expressions.This particular movie tells a story of a father's (Ali) struggle towards his son (Efe) who has a special need.Ali is a hard working man in Kas together with his father they strive for every day life at the same time they try hard to give Efe a better life.Ali's greatest ambition in life is to get a loving reaction from Efe as Efe is unable to speak or show any sort of emotions due to his condition.All Ali wanted from life and Efe was one loving look or a single word of love from his son nothing else! the movie carries on with this plot and Ali's struggle to achieve it, there comes a very interesting and exciting life path for Efe but little that they knew they will also tread in uncharted waters... Kivanc played the role of Ali very well i believed in every story he told me i believed in each of his emotions, cries and struggles in his life.As a renowned actor Kivanc can carry heavy emotions easily and naturally that is exactly what happened in this movie the best story was told in a very natural and straight forward way, in his acting ability Kivanc is very captivating that the audience has no chance not to be able to engage in with his character (this is a fact that i know from watching him in his tv roles) the two hours that we sat felt almost like seconds i remember asking Anna if we for sure have been in the cinema for two hours that is Kivanc!! as the story line goes on the movie highlights issues related with autism and societies awareness and acceptance of differences and one's struggle in life which is highly portrayed by Kivanc as Ali.Kivanc always gives all he has and puts his heart into what he does hence a remarkable and outstanding result.The young boy's (Alihan) talent is incredible in the movie, how a young boy like him can carry such emotions and how he completely understands the importance of the story and his character is beyond words.Busra Develi's (Efe's mother)scene is short yet sweet and memorable.There is beautiful music throught the movie in combination with breathtaking scenery for a moment i thought i was in Kas.Over all i had a very enjoyable and unforgettable day and one of my highlights of 2018 so far.I recommend this movie to everyone out there who belives in love, hope acceptance and perseverance in life...

What a movie, what a performance, so much emotions, what an experience.

The performance of Kivanç Tatlitug, his non-dialogue facial expressions, emotions, gestures... truly what acting is all about. Truly concerned father expressed through his tears, frustration expressed through his gestures, grattitude and pride of his son expressed through his deliverance. His best performance to date without a doubt.

The role of Efe played by Alihan, amazing kid who has definetely a future in this business, and a major supporting role in achieving and creating moments of amazing drama alongside Kivanç's character.

This is the definition of a truly spirit of an independent drama film. BRAVO!

Turkey is moving forward in the movie industry in the last decade, and with movies like this. Watch out, there is serious competition.

COME ON MY SON" - Hadi be Oglum

If you are English you have heard this phrase a thousand times or more. A term of encouragement - to push forward against all the odds.

KIVANC TATLITUG'S film of the same name exemplifies this simple phrase.

Hadi be Oglum is a story about a father's battle not to give up on his autistic son Efe. Kivanc's character as Captain Ali draws you into his world where he and his father are struggling to make a living aboard their boat.

He becomes a single dad to his son (Efe) after a girl enters his life for just 1 night - A "mermaid" as he describes her to his son.

Captain Ali shows us the depths of despair and the heights of elation as he tries to guide his son - looking to connect with him on an emotional level.

Alihan Turkdemir (who plays the role of Efe) is amazing. He portrays a 7 year old autistic child who is a savant. He speaks no words on screen but his every nuance, mannerism and facial expression leaves your heart aching for him.

Kivanc Tatlitug is mesmerizing as Captain Ali. His acting ability is just incredible. He pulls you into the world of Ali and from that first moment until the end you can't take your eyes off him.

Every facial expression, every mannerism is so believable sincere and heartfelt. He deserves world wide recognition for his amazing talent.

I have now watched this movie at least a dozen times. It's a movie you can't just see once. My poor husband (with a heart made of stone- his words lol) finally caved after my pleas to watch this and even he was moved to tears and recognized and respected KIVANC TATLITUG'S unique ability as an actor.

This film will make you cry and laugh and cry and laugh over and over again, but will leave you with the realization that miracles happen when you refuse to give up.

I will do everything within my power to watch this on the big screen.

PLEASE, PLEASE BRING "COME ON MY SON" TO THE ENGLISH AUDIENCE.

An exceptional acting from Ali and Efe. Kavanc acting is great so was the Efe acting. Actually a little story stretching may add some good remarks but still film was not a regular topic.
