Festival de trovadores

It is great that story is not in Isranbul but in Anatolia expressing a real cultural thema this timeunlike previous netflix Turkish movies. I find the intention of the movie good and really wanted to enjoy it. However there is a big lack of story telling and it was boring from the beginning to the end. It is kind of a road movie but you hardly get to know places they been to or peaple they met. Characters are all superficial. Kivanç and Settar are both great actors and their skills make the movie watchable, otherwise story was told in a boring way with serious issues on editing. I liked the cinematography though.

This movie on Netflix offers a refreshing departure from the realm of modern action films, bringing with it a deep emotional complexity and a sense of melancholy often missing in today's cinema. This story focuses on the relationship between a father and son, exploring the significance of intergenerational bonds and the internal struggles faced by the characters.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is its use of Eastern music, which not only adds authenticity but also deepens the emotional tone of the narrative. This sonic landscape, inspired by the rich culture of the Turkish people, perfectly complements the development of the characters and their feelings. The melancholic tones of the music accompany the protagonists' journey through life's joys and sorrows, creating a profound connection with the audience.

While some viewers may find themselves disappointed by the lack of typical action sequences and thrilling chases, the movie focuses on the essence of relationships and internal conflicts. This film is not for those who measure a good movie merely by the number of smashed cars or dead characters; instead, it invites film lovers to linger on the simple yet profound moments that life offers.

In conclusion, it is a film that demands attention and an open mind. It is an artistic work that adds soul to a sea of meaningless action, inviting us to reflect on the complexity of human relationships and emotions. I recommend it to all film enthusiasts looking to enjoy something that transcends fleeting entertainment and leaves a lasting impression.

I don't see any point in this movie . Even a twelve year old could've come up with this story . There is no story . If you like meaningless road trips this movie is for you .complete waste of time . I fall asleep during the movie . I wish I never saw this movie or I slept thru the all movie .Kivanc has great reputation he just needs to stop accepting extremely cheap projects like this pathetic scenario . This movie leaves you hanging as if you never invested time to find out what's going to happen .cheap movie cheap ending cheap everything .there is just a nice car and some view . 5.9 overal rating is too much for this .

In Netflix's coercive universe of puzzling, superficial and fast-paced, mostly duplicate movies and TV shows, this movie stands elsewhere. This cinematic language may seem a bit challenging for someone who is used to today's illusion of speed, but someone who leaves himself to that flow can find the courage to face many emotions he has suppressed. One of the strongest aspects of the film is that it is adapted from Kemal Varol's novel of the same name. In particular, a phrase that became the motto of the film and was constantly shared on social media was quite interesting: "Daddy (papa) is an unfinished word." Indeed, "pa" is one of the first syllables that babies say, when they repeat that syllable repeatedly, "papa" comes out, as if they are trying to say a word that starts with "pa".

A little bit melancolic but speed of the movie was like meditation. Also Congrats for Kivanc Tatlitug to his performance.

Brilliant acting, pitch perfect dialogue! Not a film for those who crave action-packed scenes, but rather for those who appreciate an in-depth portrayal of a wounded relationship, in this case between musician father and attorney son. The Turkish music and stunning, stark landscapes provide an amazing backdrop to this novel road film featuring two people in a car for most of it. It's a tour de force, keeping the viewer engaged in a 90-minute or so conversation. Along the way as the car journeys to some small towns, we learn in stunningly economical but evocative scenes about the father's past, with a subtlety that totally eludes even the most serious Hollywood films. That is just part of the magic of Ozcan Alper's directing.
