Moonlight Sonata

You're at the edge of your seat watching a thriller. Once the film is over you realize it's also a philosophical statement that you want to discuss with friends and neighbours. Moonlight Sonata is a film to watch, once seen also to talk about Not an account of what happened,but what the director said. In spite of the fact that the actors one by one go deep into our soul, they all come across as characters that we might come across in every day life. Looking very much forward to Kayalar's next film. He seems to have the extraordinary knack of making the unusual seem very much a part of the behaviour of the man on the street,your ordinary individual. I thought the camera work was especially brilliantly done. Just the right amount of focus and background- not overly emphasizing the individual but placing the actor in context

Very well done film, I truly enjoyed it. The writing, directing, cinematography, music and acting are excellent. The plot unravels rather slowly, sustained by a steady crescendo of suspense and becomes more complex, intriguing and unpredictable with each minute. The actors, particularly M.J Karmy, Warren David and Irena A. Hoffman are superb. Irena drew my attention in particular. She portrays Vicky, a flawed yet lovable character with such delicate and natural subtlety and powerful depth that I found myself wondering why we don't get to see her more often on the big screen. She definitely has the makings of a star, with her gorgeous sophisticated looks and remarkable talent. If you enjoy an intelligent, intricate and mysterious story and a high quality execution, then Moonlight Sonata is for you.

Wow, what a captivating thriller. The plot protected it's secrets until the end, unraveling slowly like a tangled ball of yarn. I truly enjoyed the role of Alice played by M.J. Karmi. The story kept me on my toes all through and I have to say that the beginning of the movie impressed the notion that something large was lurking, yet undisclosed. The movie was very well put together overall. Coming from Sweden, I appreciate a film that can brave the depths of human relationships under a blanket of tension. All the actors held their grounds and cultivated a settled storm, instilling curiosity and promising a consequential culmination of events.

GO SEE IT!

I have seen this movie in a film festival and I strongly believe that it deserves to be seen by the public. The unexpected twists in the plot that challenge you are enough to make this thriller a classic. What turns it into a lovely gem is the refined sense of humor of the director/screenwriter/editor (same person) that crops up occasionally. Discovering the subtle pieces of irony and black humor along the movie is a pleasure. The low profile music enhances the movie. This film shows that genius is enough to produce a low budget film that beats the zillion dollar Hollywood films embarrassingly. Hollywood may learn a few things from this unknown director.

This is by far the best movie I've seen in the last twenty years. It puts big budget Hollywood movies to shame in its intelligence and creativity. The plot is novel, exciting and extremely engaging. It is masterfully shot and directed. The subtle and seamless editing throughout creates a dream-like experience which made me forget that I was watching a movie, instead sucked me completely in and gave me a joy ride that I did not want to wake up from. Exactly what I appreciate in a great movie but almost impossible to find nowadays. There are some superb performances too, surprisingly by a fantastic group of actors I have not heard of before. Hope this gem of a movie finds its way into movie theaters soon and gets the recognition it deserves as the masterpiece that it is. Bravo!
