Bihter

As a crazed fan of the TV show, I watched this film with the lowest expectations, clear of any prejudice.

Sadly, the story telling and the need to tell the whole thing in a less-than-two-hours movie certainly was a poor choice, especially with Bihter constantly breaking the fourth wall (well, during the entire movie, almost) cheapens it all. I don't even mention the lack of detail in terms of the correct portrayal of the era, but I saw it as a conscious choice for the movie to look pleasant to internatinal viewers, rather than being factual.

Probably the only 'average' thing I could mention is cinematography. The rest is so sloppy, it was a total waste of my time. Plus, casting the very youthful Hande Ataizi for the role of Firdevs is just beyond my comprehension.

It was like watching a group of kids performing a stage play.

Actors are very known and good ones but everything about this movie is a dissapointment. I thought this was going to be an original adaptation of the great novel by Halit Ziya Usakligil which also has a great place in Turkish literature. However, this is not quite as an adaptation, but a freak show. The characters are portayed very shallow and superficial, despite the fact that they're actually not. The internal conflicts and true emotions of the characters are completely ignored. Especially the character of Bihter is portrayed very poorly.

I don't recommend it AT ALL. For those who are actually interested in the story, I recommend you to watch the TV series for a modern adaptation, or the 70s movie adaptation for an original one.

Unsuccessful writer Merve Göntem did not surprise again...

The movie is well below expectations, full of disappointments.

Player choices are terrible.

Every scene is cringe.

The only thing I like about the movie is the touches of the art director...

About this movie, Beren Saat and F. Zeynep have often come across Zeynep's acting in the role of 'Bihter' being compared, but this is complete nonsense. Farah cannot be successful in any role but in this role, she proved that especially with this movie.

Boran Kuzum's and Farah's bad acting made our eyes bleed...

I think Amazon Prime should invest more in movies and end its agreement with Farah urgently, otherwise we will watch a lot of bad movies like this.

"Forbidden love" is a famous book written by Halid Ziya Usakligil. The book has many adaptation for cinema and tv. The most influencial adaptation was made as a tv series in 2008 and this movie (Forbidden love 2023) will be mainly compared with this series. When we consider the huge influence of Forbidden love 2008, it is almost impossible to criticize the movie without comparing it with the series. It is fair to say that Forbidden love 2008 is a beter adaptation of the book. Especially, the performance of the actors were worse. Even if we ignore the 2008 tv series, I dont think that none of actors performed a satisfactory performance except Farah Zeynep Abdullah. However, although she made a satisfactory performance unlike her collegues, she still could not reach the level of beren saat(Bihter in 2008 adaptation). As a resul, it is difficult to argue that the movie fulfills the expectations and satisfy its audience.

It's a fleabag parody... Writer of the movie thinks she is so smart and edgy but no... it's bad, very bad... Maybe the worst Turkish movie in The history... watch the television show "Aski Memnu" it's 100 times more better.

Who the hell made this movie and why? So so bad and cringe.... Also disrespectful to original novel and it's author...

After I watch this movie, I dreamt about the machine from "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" because I wanted to forget all about this film.

Whoever are the people made this movie, please don't make any other movies, you clearly don't understand anything about making movies.
