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 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.

This kind of movie you need to have patience to watch it, sadly I'm not a doctor. But in the filming perspective, it upholds certain standard thus I rate 4.

"Yarina Tek Bilet" is a Turkish romantic drama capturing the bittersweet essence of love and a second chance. The film decorates the unfolding romance with picturesque cinematography, showcasing scenic landscapes of Turkey. Dilan Çiçek Deniz and Metin Akdülger share a palpable chemistry that makes the characters' interaction heartfelt. However, the movie is not saved by the dragging pace in some places and the rushing in others, which really can bring down the emotional current. Meanwhile, the touching storyline often succumbs to the pitfalls of predictability and melodrama, reducing the impact of its more touching moments. Despite all these flaws, "Yarina Tek Bilet" somehow manages to give a touching portrayal of love and reconciliation, with which especially the fans of heartfelt romance stories do resonate.

It is a new movie on Netflix. The first scene is in Ankara and the feeling it makes you think that it is going to be a good movie. I believe it is one of its kind in Turkish cinema.
