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.

This is the most wannabe romance movie I've ever seen. All the while predictable, with many tasteless scenes (like on the street when she is stopped by people, or the competition scene)- none of them brought anything to the plot at all. I liked the theme of struggle with marriage and career goals, it is very current and a problem for many nowadays.

Now tell me why, WHY, do the two actors who are famous for their chemistry in Aski Memnu have NONE here. How did the directors manage to do that is beyond me. Kivanc is a much better actor now than he used to be, but this project... he's too good to be there. Beren's way of speaking made me want to jump out my skin, it was so juvenile and unlikable. She's usually a good actress, I don't know what happened.

I disliked the majority of the movie, except for the very last scene- no, of course I'm not talking about the most cliche airport reconciliation scene- instead, at the very end, they are both laughing over a lost suitcase I presume. I loved that scene, it's so realistic how exasperated they are, and it's genuinely funny.

Overall: this is a classic romance cliche film, don't get your expectations high just because the cast is strong.

Omg! This couple, Beren and Kivanc is just fantastic and chemistry between them is so extraordinary. Also individually they are so perfect, I am huge fan of Beren Saat and that kind of role so suitable for her. Kivanc is so handsome, he is getting better in years. Also as an actor, he is nice. I love the movie. It is kind of role-playing relationship and it continues surprisingly first ,after that maybe a little classical story between a couple. I love almost every scenes. Very nice cinematography, beautiful places in US , because of Netflix, there are some sexy scenes but it is OK. I laughed in some scenes. Good movie. Watchable and again nice to see this beautiful couple together.

The feelings the actor and the actress expected to show do not match the main flow. You miss the sensations; they cannot reflect. Movie starts with a woman who puts her wallet and cell phone into her luggage and luggages are mixed at the airport. The audience is expected to follow everything with this beginning. One asks why someone puts her purse and especially cell phone in her luggage ona very long flight; actually at any flight. Then, other hard-to-believe scenes make you loose your connection with reality. K Tatlitug's performance is a bit better; however way worse than his previous movies.

These Turkish stars are not capable of acting in a western world. They fail miserably. Plus I can't even imagine how the Turkish audience will react. Doesn't play well here in America either. Poorly written and edited. Cheesy plot. Cannot believe that Netflix even bought it. What were they thinking? The male protagonist is popular in Turkey but in shows more befitting of the Turkish culture. Plus I would like to comment on the voiceover actors. They are quite simply terrible. They have no inflection in their voices and make the movie even worse. Having the location as New York does not make this movie appealing in any way.
