Un hombre abandonado

The film isn't perfect and has some flaws, but it truly captivated me. It's simple, well-crafted, and conveys a unique sense of innocence and purity. Among recent Turkish films, which are mostly romantic, this one stands out for its heartfelt simplicity. Watching it feels refreshing, offering moments that are pure, bittersweet, and emotionally moving. Despite its shortcomings, I decided to give it a good rating because of its social theme and its distinctiveness.

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.

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.

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.

This film is like a fresh breeze. It's also very heartbreaking to know there is a lot of injustice in this world towards innocent people. Baran's powerful personality is very inspiring. It's a kind of film it gets better and better every time I watch it. Mert Ramazan Demir really put on a show. He is really talented. I really enjoyed his silent acting and the way he conveyed emotions with small details.
