Grotta Azzurra

I absolutely fell in love with this movie, it went beyond any expectations I had for a Turkish movie, Kerem's writing exceed all my expectations I'm very excited for his future As a screenwriter and for his movies if this was his first screenplay! My only wish it was longer... it also meet Devrim thanks to Kerem and she is a very talented lady! Them 2 together was just chef's kiss the chemistry is undeniable

Kerem outshined any other role I have seen him in with Cem he was simply magnificent in this role I felt every emotion he showed.. the last 20 mins I think I held my breath for the whole final seen! Life and relationships aren't perfect or easy and in Kerem's writing showed that beautifully... Be so so proud yourself Kerem because we are! And I am counting down the days for the next adventure.

The film has a faster pace at the beginning and slows down as the plot progresses.

We are introduced to Cem, a Marine who has no flair for romance and with Alara, an archaeologist who is reluctant to get involved with Cem because her work as a soldier offers many risks, and she wants something stable, something he cannot offer.

The plot unfolds simply, with the couple's difficulties and how they deal with them and the veiled promise to go to the Blue Cave.

When we reach the end, in the final plot, the viewer is surprised by the twist in the plot, perhaps if the film had more time on the unfolding of some actions or more screen time for the main couple. The end of the film would have more impact, an extra 10 minutes would have been enough in my opinion.

Finally, it is a good film for those who like the style of romance, adventure, the plot is not deep and does not ask you to dwell on it, but it asks you to understand the motivations of the main couple and try see through their eyes.

Baby don't hurt me ... don't hurt me ... well you know the rest (if you know the song) ... I also could have written "love is a battlefield" .. because the man is a soldier (forgive my over explaining, but some may not have seen the movie - so no pun intended). Will that even matter for you? Tough to say to be honest.

There is romance in the air, there is a shy first flirt ... and then there is a back and forth (timeline wise) to show us where the characters end up "today". I would say what the movie might be hiding under the guise of a twist ... I think is quite clear ... we are not blue (whatever that may mean) ... I do like the color, but that is besides the point.

The movie is there to show that we should live life to the fullest - to enjoy and cherish even the smallest moments. And also to do what we love to do ... with the people we love to do it with (no pun intended once more)

A most emotional film that surely gets under your skin.

Kerem Bursin is absolutely breathtaking, and Devrim Ozkan is a discovered talent for me.

Intense, very meaningful and remarkable, but the ending is too sad to bear. Make sure that the box of tissues are nearby.

It is also worth mentioning the captivating music that accompanies us almost throughout the film. Whether you want to or not, it will draw you into the story.

I would definitely say that this movie ranks in my top 5 all favorites!

Turkey can be proud of producing such films, and one must wish that there will be more and more of them in the future.

The characters make plans for the future and hope of realizing them someday. Their dreams come to promises, promises are about to be fulfilled, and a wonderful tomorrow seems so close, when suddenly... The shadow drowns the future without any compromise.

The personages act according to their life plan, and their "plan" is just a dream of a better life. Of course, a dream is not a plan and the film shows it from the first scene.

Stories about how someone manages to change his life or help somebody are doomed to failure. Just because you don't know what is best for someone else, accept it. Life repeatedly makes us learn this bitter lesson, and this film is proof of that.
