Solamente tu

Lately I have discovered that watching foreign films with subtitles has given me the opportunity to enjoy some above average cinematic entertainment. This is one of the best movies I have ever watched. I was totally captivated from beginning to end.

I was only into this movie (Netflix) about 15 minutes when I realized I was watching a masterpiece. There was only one swear word in the whole movie with no nudity. So tasteful and refreshing. There is some violence, but not gratuitous,and only in part of the movie. Don't let the opening scene shock you away. This movie has a beautiful and uplifting ending. Kudos to the director and production team. They deserve it. I would never have thought I would love a movie made in of all places, Turkey!

I am totally won over by this wonderful film. The two lead actors are so special - what a chemistry there is between them (I also fell for them in Kordugum TV series until the writers did their worst!). The writing arc hit the spot. We are in the present, prosaically at the start, then slowly the layers of back-story are revealed. Is Turkish cinematography noticeably one of its great strengths? The TV series above I viewed after this masterful production seems to confirm that.

One issue I would take up with one of the reviewers, is the opinion that 'coincidences' were contrived; I don't agree. It could be expected that that ending sequence would quite logically happen. Normal? - not contrived soapiness!

No, I haven't seen the Korean version. I would suggest that some of 'boxer' scenes in mid-film are rather unpleasant, although integral and of kay importance. Eyes shut for me!

The movie starts by introducing a unique love story between a blind girl and a former tough guy. It begins slowly but gradually picks up momentum, turning into something quite captivating. The twists and reveals along the way keep things intriguing, but what really stands out is the stellar acting.

The story is the heart of this film-its strength lies in the way it's told. The direction and execution are top-notch, and the acting really brings it to life. It's unfortunate that, despite its quality, being a Turkish film means it likely won't receive the same attention as a Hollywood production.

8/10.

My soul fluttered, my eyes teared, and this movie lit up corners of my heart that had gone dark with doubt and disappointment. One could only HOPE to feel a love like theirs.

Well, I saw the original version from Korea, and this one i recently discover it in Netflix... I'm still watching it, so, I hope the same quality, and to shed the same tears as I did with the original, because the story is tender at the same time is original and deep.

Maybe I'm so into dramas and movies from Korea, but at the moment, I'm not so into the adaptations that are out there, but again, I'm hoping this movie to be better than I expect.

Sorry for my lousy English... still learning.
