Exodus

The very existence of such a film feels like an indictment of humanity itself. While it only scratches the surface of the harsh realities and lived experiences it portrays, the most heartbreaking aspect is that these events continue to unfold even as we speak. I cannot bear to witness the world's profound hypocrisy laid bare in this way.

I wish this film could mark an end to such stories, but I'm certain it represents only the beginning. My deepest gratitude goes to everyone who contributed to bringing this important work to life. I can only hope that after creating this film, their own lives won't become the subject of another such story.

This is cinema that forces us to confront uncomfortable truths - the kind of film that should exist as a cautionary tale rather than a reflection of our ongoing reality. It serves as both an artistic achievement and a damning commentary on the state of our world.

Exodus 2025 is a powerful and deeply emotional film that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in modern Turkish history-the aftermath of the 2016 coup attempt. Unlike many mainstream portrayals, this film offers a unique and heartfelt perspective: it tells the story of the countless innocent people associated with the Hizmet movement, inspired by Fethullah Gülen, who have suffered unimaginable injustice, persecution, and exile.

Through the lens of personal tragedy and resilience, Exodus 2025 takes viewers on a journey through the lives of teachers, doctors, journalists, and everyday citizens who were criminalized overnight for their beliefs, affiliations, or simply for being educators. The film is not just a political narrative-it is a human story. It is about loss, separation, and the strength to survive when the world turns against you.

The cinematography and storytelling are impressive, especially considering the risks involved in producing such a film. The emotional performances and the realistic portrayal of suffering give it a documentary-like authenticity while still maintaining the cinematic depth of a well-crafted drama.

This film is more than entertainment-it's a testimony. A testimony to the endurance of faith, the cost of standing up for one's values, and the silent suffering of thousands who have been unjustly punished. Whether you are familiar with the events of 2016 or not, Exodus 2025 is an eye-opening experience that invites empathy, reflection, and awareness.

Highly recommended for anyone who values human rights, freedom of thought, and justice. This is not just a Turkish story-it is a universal one.

A remarkable and deeply moving work of art that brings together the lives of individuals from diverse backgrounds, showing intersections of their stories. Despite coming from different walks of life, they are united by their shared experience of oppression, and their collective struggle, resilience, and the profound effort to truly understand one another across the divides of culture, and identity.

A powerful scenario that sets political divisions aside to explore why it is essential for us to truly understand one another. It feels as if it's based on real stories.

It tells what other people experience in their life.

This film is a stunning piece of cinematic art that captivates from the very first frame. With its masterful direction and emotionally rich performances, it creates a powerful, immersive atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll... The visual composition is breathtaking, every scene crafted with precision and purpose... Its exploration of complex themes is both thought-provoking and gracefully executed, without ever feeling forced... The pacing is deliberate, drawing the audience deeper with each moment. Simply put, it's a super film - intelligent, beautiful, and profoundly moving...

I'm not bias in anyway when I say, this is probably the greatest film in the history of cinema.

Some of the best directing ever witnessed.

Again without being biased I'd say this is also the work of the greatest director that has ever existed. In fact calling him a director is not enough.

I call upon all atheists to rethink their stance when a living God walks amongst us.

I heard that on set the director gave sight to a security guard who was blind and one day the catering messed up and there was no food, but the director turned the unused film neg rolls into chicken rolls and fed the crew.

On another occasion there was a scene on water and the grips couldn't get the water platform working, so the director handheld the camera and walked on the water himself to get the shot.

These are all my own opinions and I have tried to be as neutral as possible.

The director is a humble genius God.
