Baglilik Asli

Although modern life imposes different roles on women, being a mother, giving birth to a baby and raising it is a woman's most important victory. The pleasure of this success cannot be given to any man. The movie is very successful, its current IMDB rating does not do it justice.

This is a profound psychological study of mother-child relationship told in the perfect pace that keeps you glued to the screen. The way Kaplanoglu subtly orchestrates various emotions churning through the actors and thus the audience is simply beyond words!

Don't take this imdb rating seriously, surely it is very underrated despite sincerity and generosity to women dilemmas of our century.

This movie locally made but internationally touches all the women who left in between of responsibilities, keeping up with the world as much as motherhood.

I really liked the cast and the views of rainy Istanbul.

The feeling of separation and connection examined from every aspect.

I surely advise anyone who has time to understand, wants to improve their horizons to get connected with humanity.

The performance of the lead actress was incredible. The direction and editing were insanely good. This was a transporting experience. Highly recommended. Note that I am not a Turkish speaker, so watched a version with subtitles. Nothing lost in translation -- still an emotional tour de force.

The film has a simple story: today's working woman (it would be more accurate to say career woman) torn between her child and her job, and what she feels and experiences in this process. I won't comment on the content or quality of the film (about which I'm not too sure either), but I don't think career-oriented, feminist-minded, woke women will like it very much.

Secondly, I found the selection of Kübra Kip as the lead actress for the role of Asli very successful. I watched her for the first time, I even learned her name after watching the film. But while watching it, I thought clearly that she might be a Capricorn because of the negative energy and auro she spreads throughout the film. When the career-oriented character of the Capricorn is taken into consideration, I said to myself that I wouldn't be surprised if it was so and if the director made this choice on purpose. I checked the next day and, yes, our leading lady was a Capricorn born on January 1st. Of course, I don't know if the director chose her on purpose.
