One-Way to Tomorrow

At parts hard to watch, a well told story that was phenomenally acted. Two strangers meet on a train and their two tragic love stories slowly unravel.

The great soundtrack and wonderful acting is what keeps this film from being a somber spiral downward. Additionally the way in which this story is told was a great storytelling tool...two strangers sharing a compartment on a train as it sways along the countryside heading towards Izmir. It's a fourteen hour trip and Ali, a lawyer, is filled with curiosity about his traveling companion prompting her to speak. Leyla, carrying a small bag and a battered violin case, just wants to be left alone...so she takes an aggressive approach to Ali's inquiries and starts digging through his bag to get him instead to talk about himself.

This is a heartfelt look at the human condition, especially heartache and what it prompts you to do. I don't think this film would be nearly as watchable if it wasn't for actors Metin Akdulger and Dilan Cicek Deniz. Individually and together, they are charming. Silence and sound is used well to give moments to breathe in this emotional story.

I think this film is worth seeing for the end alone. This is a recommendation for me...not necessarily to romantics, but to people who enjoy a well told story,

I think it was i nice movie. It was different. When i heard it was turkish and a romantic comedy i thought it will be a cliche. I liked the music and the dialogues. The theme was interesting. The dance at the ending scene was well thought. I started dancing immediately when i saw it because i remembered the bande of the outsiders. But i didn't like dilan's style. Her hairs looked like they were always a mess. And i also wanted too meet the couple of the wedding. Metin played really good. Overall the movie was good.

A Turkish dramatic film. It is about a girl who is going to avoid the wedding of her ex, for that she gets on a train without paying the ticket and her cabin companion accompanies her in a process of self-discovery. The film is divided into chapters and parts. Arrhythmic. Parsimonious in moments. Most of it takes place on a train and there are only two characters. The script is spectacular, slightly sly and smart. It deals with what it is to heal after a relationship, infidelity, self-love, vulnerability, to find ourselves again. It is not a romantic comedy, although it might seem. He gets to play depth shots without being pretentious. This movie is not for everyone, it could get boring if you do not enjoy the long soliloquies that the characters waste.

It was absolutely beautiful. I loved the acting of Metin Akdülger. For an adaptation movie, this was the best they could've done. It makes you want to jump on a train to find your ex. And also; Love is always unexpected for pure hearts.

I loved it! Dialouges were so fluid. All was good, actors were so real. Although it was mostly in one place like a theather act it was not boring at all. And music choices were so great and beautiful. When I read Turkish critics I can't believe how rude and arrogant they are. This movie definitelty is much much better than many festival award winning movies.
