2 Genç Kiz

This Book-based movie is truly awful, and a big disappointment. We've been waiting for this move over a month. Many film reviewer were hopeful for it. Also in newspapers and TV, it made big sense. When 29th April comes, many people regretfully noticed that movie is really awful. Why? First of all story was so monotone. It has been many indefinite scenes, sometimes it's hard to realize what's going on. The actresses, out of Hulya Avsar, weren't harmonized with their roles, especially Vildan Atasever. She acts better in comedy films, In this movie, a kind of drama, she couldn't disposed of her previous role. And finally Movie is too short, just 66 minutes.

This film proves that a very good film can be made out of a mediocre novel. I went to the cinema forced by my girlfriend and came out of it thoroughly impressed and touched. The film divided the male and female audiences in Turkey, and I am happy to say I am not one of the Turkish males who felt "slapped" by this movie. Having said this, if your idea of life is soccer and drinking booze, this is not a film for you. For the other lesser beings such as myself, I would like to add that this is one of those rare films we see in the world today that will change one's life. It is also a revolutionary film for the Turkish cinema, finally an intelligent and sensitive departure from the stupid slap sticks of the recent years toward bone dry reality about everyday Turkish life. I strongly recommend it.

All he's movies are piece of shttt. I don't know how he got award

The film was so different from expectations. Because Mr Ataman has chosen an unusual style for Turkish cinema. He decided to tell the differences between two girls and didn't put any murder in a film ... Feride Cetin who plays Behiye, was really amazing. She is a short movie director in Turkiye but her first acting performance was unbelievable. I hope she continues acting. Behiye the rebellious girl who lives in a suburb. She's a tough attitude in life because she has no friends and her family finds her crazy. It's a benefit to see suburbs and underground parts of Istanbul. The film stands far away from the Turkish classical cinema. Esp. Behiye is a clever girl who doesn't accepts to be an ordinary girl despite she's good cooking girl. Replikas, Turkish rock group, made great music for Behiye's scenes. Also the other Turkish popular songs that are used in movie are OK for the spirit of movie.

I watched this film without having read the book it was supposedly based on. The film centers on two teenage girls- Handan (played by Vildan Atasever) and Behiye (Feride Cetin). Handan is the easy-going popular girl with a relatively liberal upbringing. She lives with her single mother Leman (played by veteran actress Hulya Avsar) and rumor has it that her father is somewhere in Australia. Strongwilled Behiye (played by Feride Cetin) comes from a more middle-class background and wants to break free. She has bright red hair and a tomboyish personality.

The acting in the film is uniformly excellent. Vildan Atasever, Feride Cetin and Hulya Avsar all deliver strong multi-layered performances.The script is smart, being funny and touching at the same time. Another outstanding aspect was the soundtrack by Turkish rock band Replikas.
