Exodus

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.

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.

My parents had to go through the same river, for being a teacher, we had go through all these... I was 12 years old when they arrested my father in front of my eyes, when I come back from school my mom had been crying for the past hours, they were just teachers whose only intention was raising golden generations, Thankfully, my dad come back two weeks later, However, we knew they were coming back, so he had to leave the country but he was on no flee list, which meant he had to go to the river, thankfully, he made it. Then they can't reach him so they were coming for my mom she was also on no flee list so she took the same path me and my uncle took her until the side of the river... Many lives were lost on that river, the ones whose stayed faced torches, families separated... Hopefully with this movie, just people will finally know what is really going on...

Exodus is a rare film that masterfully balances political urgency with deeply human storytelling. Set in the tense aftermath of the 2016 attempted coup in Turkey, it follows three strangers-a university lecturer, a police officer, and a Kurdish artist-each unjustly accused and forced to flee their homeland. What could have become a loud, didactic political drama instead unfolds as a quiet, emotionally resonant story about resilience, identity, and the bonds formed in crisis.

The film's greatest strength lies in its restraint. Rather than dramatizing the characters' suffering, Exodus invites the viewer into their emotional world with quiet precision. It explores what it truly means to lose everything-your profession, your home, your sense of belonging-while still holding onto hope and dignity. The performances are grounded and deeply human, bringing nuance and authenticity to every scene.

What sets Exodus apart is its focus on universal themes-fear, loss, solidarity, and the longing for freedom-experienced through different cultural and personal lenses. It's not just a story about fleeing a country; it's about rediscovering one's self and forging unexpected connections in the face of uncertainty.

A haunting, understated film that stays with you long after it ends, Exodus is a powerful reminder of the quiet courage required to start over. Highly recommended.

This film is a striking portrayal of the global refugee crisis, told through a deeply human and emotional lens. Despite its visibly limited resources, it achieves remarkable cinematic power with breathtaking visuals and sincere storytelling. The filmmakers turn constraints into strengths, delivering a moving and thought-provoking experience. It's a raw and honest depiction of suffering, resilience, and hope-reflecting the harsh reality faced by millions around the world, and reminding us of our shared humanity.

This film is an emotional journey that sheds light on the often-ignored struggles of refugees around the world. The visuals are hauntingly beautiful, serving as a stark contrast to the pain within the story. It doesn't just tell a refugee story-it brings their pain to life, reminding us that behind every statistic is a face, a family, and a story worth hearing.
