The Cemil Show

... it's an enjoyable comedy of three parts with a great character arc. It lost its pace at some point after Part I but it turned out to be unpredictable from that point on. I was thinking - oh, I know, now it will happen this, then that but it didn't, it surprised me and it was a mixture of moods. Would it have been a better movie if it was more simple? Yes, I guess... It could have been a box-office little wonder but I believe it had different ambitions. I haven't seen the short film of the same director Baris Sarhan this movie is based on but the fact he made a full-length picture means a lot.

I'd like to add that the lead actress Nesrin Cavadzade is simply outstanding. We are about to see her rising and successful international career!

There is a nostalgic and cinematographic proposal that works well, but the tone of comedy and social representation fails in its objective. The sense of humor, based on a certain hysteria of the characters, ends up being annoying, and the protagonist, who is supposed to be nice, fails to connect as a character. It is a low-flying comedy, lost in its own narrative and soon using up its resources.

It is a comedy that flies low, although it gets more interest in that journey towards the madness of the protagonist, who finds a better position as a villain than as a hero.
