Kagittan Hayatlar

A very moving, riveting story that touches the heart. The story and cinematography are amazing- I like how they help make the scenes more poignant. The acting was on point and no scene was out of balance.

Sweet, angelic, sensitive, exciting, passionate, delicate... Emir Ali Dogrul's performance is fantastic, painful scenes, stupendous, Çagatay Ulusoy also delivered an impeccable and intense, visceral performance ... Beautiful photography, referring to playfulness and poetry, contrasting with the poor and dirty reality of the scavengers ... The Turks know how to hurt, they leave us with a little heart tight ... And what an outcome, what an outcome !!!

" When there is misery all around, a little laughter feels cruel" A somewhat mawkish and a little tonal whiplash.. also, it could use a little more snipping, less less screaming ..while the conclusion is not unforeseeable, it does feel rushed in in unfastening it... but great cinematography, reminds me of my Istanbul trip... reveals the poverty that prevails in that part of the world ...once which was an imperial capital and now a economic capital with strong GDP....storyline is a Oliver Twist with a twist and heartbreaking.. few beautiful moments and sequences .. a great watch..

Çagatay Ulusoys performance is brilliant, but the plot was written a little bit lazy. Also saw the plot twist coming after half of the movie, but it didn't really help the story. The colors and settings were also not really supporting the sad tale about this poor people, would have been a 6/10 for me, but the actors were all great, and as I mentioned before, Çagatay Ulusoy should get an Oscar for his great acting.

Good attempt to show the life of road side kid and kids from damaged family.
