Zwei Mädchen Aus Istanbul

This film proves that a very good film can be made out of a mediocre novel. I went to the cinema forced by my girlfriend and came out of it thoroughly impressed and touched. The film divided the male and female audiences in Turkey, and I am happy to say I am not one of the Turkish males who felt "slapped" by this movie. Having said this, if your idea of life is soccer and drinking booze, this is not a film for you. For the other lesser beings such as myself, I would like to add that this is one of those rare films we see in the world today that will change one's life. It is also a revolutionary film for the Turkish cinema, finally an intelligent and sensitive departure from the stupid slap sticks of the recent years toward bone dry reality about everyday Turkish life. I strongly recommend it.

The film was so different from expectations. Because Mr Ataman has chosen an unusual style for Turkish cinema. He decided to tell the differences between two girls and didn't put any murder in a film ... Feride Cetin who plays Behiye, was really amazing. She is a short movie director in Turkiye but her first acting performance was unbelievable. I hope she continues acting. Behiye the rebellious girl who lives in a suburb. She's a tough attitude in life because she has no friends and her family finds her crazy. It's a benefit to see suburbs and underground parts of Istanbul. The film stands far away from the Turkish classical cinema. Esp. Behiye is a clever girl who doesn't accepts to be an ordinary girl despite she's good cooking girl. Replikas, Turkish rock group, made great music for Behiye's scenes. Also the other Turkish popular songs that are used in movie are OK for the spirit of movie.

All he's movies are piece of shttt. I don't know how he got award

This film was just shown in the London film festival and I must say what an excellent piece of cinematographic art it is. It is not just a nice story but it brilliantly portrays the female role as perceived in the supposedly modern Turkish society. Although the finale is nothing like something out of a fairy tale with a perfect ending, it definitely makes a mark and proves its point: the emancipation of women and how stereotypes, stigmas and even physical and psychological pressure and abuse cannot repress inner strength and joie de vivre as one could say.

I thought the movie was brilliantly interpreted and the comic references were certainly well put forward by both the director and the actresses. Well done.

This Book-based movie is truly awful, and a big disappointment. We've been waiting for this move over a month. Many film reviewer were hopeful for it. Also in newspapers and TV, it made big sense. When 29th April comes, many people regretfully noticed that movie is really awful. Why? First of all story was so monotone. It has been many indefinite scenes, sometimes it's hard to realize what's going on. The actresses, out of Hulya Avsar, weren't harmonized with their roles, especially Vildan Atasever. She acts better in comedy films, In this movie, a kind of drama, she couldn't disposed of her previous role. And finally Movie is too short, just 66 minutes.
