Les cendres

Waste of time. The bazaar/farmers market scene was extremely bad. I felt like I was watching an indian film about indian slums. I am not looking down on them but it is not nice when a country (i think purposely) is represented in a very wrong way. Characters were shallow and acting was meh. Final scene felt like it was rushed. Anna Karenina was thrown in the script to make it look meaningful but it was ridiculus overall because it literally had no connection to any character. And scriptwriter or director - I don't know whose BRILLIANT idea was this but- made a "groundnreaking" plot twist by making another writer claim the book "Ashes" as his own falsely. Wow. Amazing. As usual from Netflix: There is a pretty woman, there is a hot guy and there are sex scenes. Anything else doesn't matter. A good story, good acting, good cinematography... those are irrelevant to netfix filmography. Shame on the Actors/Actresses for accepting to work on this garbage. No sense of career management...

Good director(Erdem Tepegoz), good scenarist(Erdi Isik), wonderfull cast(Funda Eryigit, Alperen Korkmaz, Mehmet Gunsur)...unfortunately the result is not satisfactory. The idea of the plot is interesting . But i think that the screenplay is written in a hurry.. needs elaboration and more toughts. On the other hand the characters are not well developed. They are unidimensional. The link with Anna Karenina is ridiculous . Laughed a lot at the final scene. We are not expecting art movies from Netflix but we still deserve better works. As i've mentioned earlier most of the latest contents of Netflix started to be below average.

As the first reviewer states, Netflix is a major player in the streaming movie game, and this is advertised as one of the "most watched" or "popular" movie. So me being me, I decided to tune in to see for myself why this movie is rated as "popular" by netflix. Man i tell you I wish I would have passed this mess of a movie up.

The acting is completely over-bearing and portrayed exactly like their drama coach would have advised. The over-acting blends well with the complete crappy music that drones on in the background. Most soap operas are done better than this, but I suspect they made and completed the film in less than a month as its release date is 2024.

If you decide to pass up this film feel good about it, because you are not missing much.

There is something I don't understand. What kind of movie is this and what purpose does it serve? If I want to watch a movie with sex content, I will open the movies that serve it and watch it. But to put more than 5 minutes of sex content in the movie for the first 20 minutes, which perversion is the work of which mentality, which I will watch for a story? We're tired of this ridiculous content. Shame on your time. Good players. Good shooting. Everything is good, money was spent. But who adds such ridiculous sex scenes to so much effort? Please anyone, I hope I don't meet in the next content I will watch.

The movie characters are just copies of countless cliches, acting is bland and the scenario feels like an attempt of a romantic movie by a generative AI. The cheating wife has been overused, the life they show you is not realistic.

There is no character development other than sprinkling some cliches on each character. The wife owns a cute shop, the other man is a mysterious, poor but trustworthy person.

If I was an actor I would be ashamed to be part of something like this. I would stop writing if I was the writer behind this. I would stop directing movies if I was the director who filmed this.
