Metruk Adam - Der verlassene Mann

Mert completely got away from Ferit and adopted Baran very well, he made you feel a completely different character.. The story is very nice and touching, the angles are very successful. The sincerity in his acting makes the connections in the story feel even stronger; he doesn't just act, he makes it happen. He has a special talent for conveying emotion in his eyes and drawing the audience into that emotion.

Baran's gaze breaking over the course of the film, the closer he gets to Lydia, the more he changes, the more he redefines things within himself. His friendship with Esat. How much he also touches Musat's life.

Baran's bond with his niece shows that love, innocence, and connection can heal what once seemed impossible.

But I felt like it would have been much better if it had been filmed as an 8-10 episode series rather than a movie...

I felt like it would have been even more effective if the events were handled in deeper and more detailed ways, it would have conveyed the feeling better...

Other than that, it was a very warm and beautiful work. Congrats to the team.

The movie takes you on an emotional, heartwarming journey, highlighting the hopeful and touching side of the story rather than dwelling on its darkness. The performances are outstanding Mert Ramazan Demir brilliantly portrays Baran's helplessness and heavy burden, and how he gradually finds hope through his bond with his nephew.

It was a very wonderful film.

It had a new and different story from other Turkish films, and there were no extra and boring scenes.

The scenes with Baran and Lydia were extremely sweet and lovely, and finally, a special thanks to Mert Ramazan Demir for his excellent, effective and emotional performance.

L enjoyed this film very much, i loved it and also i will watch it many times.

Finally, I would like to extend my appreciation to the team behind this film and wish it great success and international recognition, as it truly deserves the best and to be seen worldwide.

The movie was truly beautiful and full of emotions. It captures the heaviness of the heart in a way that feels very real, while the scenes between Lidya and Baran bring a sense of warmth and tenderness that balances it beautifully.

The performances were excellent, every actor fit their role perfectly and delivered with conviction. Their acting made the story even more engaging.

What held the film back, however, was its length. At only 1 hour 30 minutes, it felt too short to fully develop the story. The direction could have been stronger, and the editing was not entirely convincing. In the attempt to shorten the film, some important scenes were cut, which left parts of the story without the justice they deserved.

I loved it, it was such a great story I wish it was a bit longer. Baran tried his best to move forward with his life, he did his best despite all the challenges he kept facing. I loved his relationship with Lydia (Mert and Ada did such a great job). He opened to her since the beginning and the last lines in the movie warmed my heart. Baran who learned not to cry or show much of his emotion, all the pain was in his eyes and in the few breakdowns he had, you just want to hug him and tell him you're doing great 😭 the whole cast did an amazing job, I truly recommend it.
