Dernier appel pour Istanbul

A romantic takeoff during a warm New York summer sets the feel of this lovestory. The main characters are played by a turkish actor and actress in this turkisk production. Both actors are very good looking and very charming which makes this movie easy digest.

Beren Saat, an uncanny lookalike of Ellen Barkin and Linda Fiurentino, plays. Serin, a woman getting headwind in her creative design career but is confronted with a choice. Her co-actor Kivanç Tatlitug, a lookalike to Ricky Martin, plays Mehmet. A man also developing his career and also confronted with life choices.

Its very well made production, a classic cut I would say. The directing is satisfying, cinematography, photo, music and acting are all on point and not much to criticise. You get a genuine feel. Every character does a great job and its a movie easy to digest but not all uncomplicated. The story has some depth.

With that said, you will likely not cry or walk out of the theater like a new person. Its not a gamechanger but nice.

Funny thing I couldnt help but notice is how similar turkish sound to japaneese.

Yeah Im neither.

I feel like people are disappointed by the movie because they expected a basic Turkish movie where there's extra drama and love, the movie tells a kind of a realistic story that people fall in love and lose their way sometimes but they find their way back to each other. And yes there were some bold clips the usaul fans aren't used to. But overall it was a lightweight romantic movie and I enjoyed it. Kivanc as usual is a talented actor no matter what the part is he can act the role very well. I think the fans had a huge expectations because they loved them in their previous series they wanted more for their role.

Watching the two attractive actors and nyc is enjoyable but beren's behaviors like "how sexy am l watch me" was distractful. I think she wanted to show the world herself. Ok you're beautiful but not so talented. Btw, is orgasm scene really necessary??? It was really cheesy. The lighting was also poor. At the some secenes we see the faces in shadow eyes. I was excited for watching this couple again but l couldn't find the feeling expected.

The plot is at the begining like "before sunrise" series, l like the way it is. Anyway you can watch it without too much expactation then you can enjoy maybe.

This movie is unlike any Turkish production most of us would have seen. And it might not be appealing for everyone in the Middle East as it is a romcom with a woman who is highly unapologetic bold and assertive in her explicit intentions. Acting of the male character is good. And the woman is not bad, but her behaviour especially is quite scandalous. The way she carries herself with the guy is remarkable and will make people frown more then a few times... The opposite way around (him chasing her that way) in today's standard would not be accepted.

Who should watch this, hard to say, but initially it will probably be progressive people or those that watch the movie from an adult entertainment perspective. As the movie progresses somehow it picks up and get into a more realistic story. Which is worth finishing.

STORY: A woman and a stranger connect of the lost suitcase on New York City airport. After both expression that they are married, the women shows up for drinks in a skimpy glitter dress and speaks out that her marriage is boring and that she wants to have fun with the man. What follows is a night out with drinks and her winning a saucy contest which is filmed for social media...

As the movie progresses, It is strongly recommended to keep watching

ANALSYS The story on itself is not that shocking, but the way the female characters goes about having fun outside of her marriage is really what makes it a bit of an uncomfortable watch. In real life, many men would not like this approach, but it is better the watch the movie until the end before judging. It is a movie that one probably will remember in parts.

DECOR / STAGING / VISUALS / EDITING It all looks very good and professional. The scenes are beautifully captured and the editing is smooth. Technically this is great movie. And the scenes all look great. Aesthetically the movie looks good, including the main characters, they look like a flaming couple.

SCREENPLAY Acting is good, initially the director mainly choose for good looks, later dialogue becomes more prominent. Side characters are a bit theatrical.

... attractive-actors, better than average production values & the city views are highlights of this romance-drama... a fantasy based story that half way through come's the one twist on which the entire plot-storyline of the movie rests... it would have gained one rating point had not the ending be so typical Hollywood

... appears mostly Christmas & romance films make up the bulk of viewing choices.. as they go, this one's not terrible, yet definitely not worth going out of your way to see... fits right in a Netflix lineup, satisfying audiences speaking the language, they are a worldwide entertainment-conglomerate after-all.
