Caminos Cruzados

I think this movie would be highly acclaimed by watchers that are not familiar to life in Turkey, since it introduces the life in Istanbul, which is quite different from the life in Europe overall. I watched this with a friend and while he enjoyed and surprised by the things presented, I was already familiar to most of these problems or events that occurs during the movie.

As a culturally representative movie, I think it is a great one but in terms of overall story development, acting and filmography I feel like it lacks and can be improved on these aspects. The story only improves at the beginning and the end of the film, which results with watching those culture inducing scenes which the Turkish population is already very aware of.

Overall I recommend this movie to people who did not visit or lived in Turkey at least for a month.
