Hai mai visto le lucciole?

A well-known story for Turkish theater lovers. The scenario was processed successfully. Congratulations to the whole team. A performance that deserves an award from Ecem Erkek.

The movie is based on the original text of a muchly appreciated theatre play staged in 1999, written by Yilmaz Erdogan, a succesfull name of cinema and theatre world in Turkey.

Despite basing on a text succeded in the past, the movie unfortunately fails articulating a cinematic langue by adapting the theatrical scenario. Hence, the audience faces to a theatre play on the screen trying but failing to be a movie.

Execellent. Masterpiece. A nice overview of last 50 years of Turkey. Being a strong woman, being a smart woman always has many challenges in Turkey.

Fascinating story... I don't cry often, but it made me. And also i did laugh too. I really don't get the people who gave bad score to this movie. You guys never saw a firefly before?

I watched the movie with zero expectations, and I was happy. Despite terrible CGI and make-up, it was a great movie. It entertained and made me sad at the same time. The first thirty minutes of the film seem very useless to plot, and nothing really goes on. It had a comedy vibe, but nothing was funny. Except for Ecem Erkek, she was funny. I really liked her performance.

The movie opens like a flower while you watch it and becomes much more meaningful. However, character development is weak. Much thing goes on around Gülseren, and only in the last scenes, we see a change in her character. I think the film could have been much better, but it is still a good movie to watch.
