Great!

This film broke me. It accurately depicts the living conditions of Istanbul's street life while wonderfully conveying the sorrow of the heartbreaking drama of a man who earns his life collecting trash. The acting and soundtracks were also amazing.

One of the best Turkish films I've watched lately. Would definitely recommend; it's worth your time.

And the ending my god...

6/10.

GREAT MOVIE

Greetings from Portugal :) Loved the movie and I cried a lot. But its impossible not to do so. How can anyone see this movie without getting emotional? This movie was so intense and sad. We could feel Mehmet pain :( But, I loved it anyway. I love the director and the main actor. Çagatay was incredible. All the cast were. The storyline is great. It´s a harsh but true picture of the cruel situation of many street children around the world :( Everyone involved in this project is to be congratulated :)

Lazy screen writing, brilliant leading actor

Çagatay Ulusoys performance is brilliant, but the plot was written a little bit lazy. Also saw the plot twist coming after half of the movie, but it didn't really help the story. The colors and settings were also not really supporting the sad tale about this poor people, would have been a 6/10 for me, but the actors were all great, and as I mentioned before, Çagatay Ulusoy should get an Oscar for his great acting.

A tonal whiplash but a good watch

" When there is misery all around, a little laughter feels cruel" A somewhat mawkish and a little tonal whiplash.. also, it could use a little more snipping, less less screaming ..while the conclusion is not unforeseeable, it does feel rushed in in unfastening it... but great cinematography, reminds me of my Istanbul trip... reveals the poverty that prevails in that part of the world ...once which was an imperial capital and now a economic capital with strong GDP....storyline is a Oliver Twist with a twist and heartbreaking.. few beautiful moments and sequences .. a great watch..
