Asche

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.

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...

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.

Everyhing in this low budget clishé movie is overused to the point of losing all meaning.

Made me want to cancel Netflix subscription.

This cliché romance cheating wife movie relies heavily on tired tropes and predictable plot twists, failing to offer any originality or depth. The characters are one-dimensional, the dialogue feels forced, and the emotional stakes are undermined by shallow storytelling. The portrayal of infidelity lacks nuance, reducing complex human relationships to superficial melodrama. Overall, it's a forgettable and uninspired addition to the genre, offering little substance or genuine insight into the complexities of love and betrayal.

Streaming services have begun to attract independent/art-house cinema screenwriters and directors not only in Turkey but also in the world. And filmmakers welcome this offer because these services provide them with a freer and richer space.

Netflix, in particular, has dominated almost all awards in the world for the last 10 years.

And thanks to this, we watched many successful movies...

So, we can look at why this mathematics does not work in Turkey through this movie.

Director ; virtue overhead .... we know from art-house/independent works.

Most of the actors, writers, cinematographers... The cast is almost made up of such people.

So why wasn't this movie made? Because no matter who is in front of or behind the camera, the label on the movie is ay production and this movie is nothing more than a typical ay production series.

Unless the monopoly of the streaming company in Turkey is broken, there is no way we can watch Roma.

We have talented cinema workers and sufficient technical infrastructure...

As usual, there is no production company that comes from TV. Channel D, ATV series, where it is easier to make love, swear, alcohol and cigarettes are not censored = Turkish works on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime etc.
