Have You Ever Seen Fireflies?

I watched the movie with zero expectations, and I was happy. Despite terrible CGI and make-up, it was a great movie. It entertained and made me sad at the same time. The first thirty minutes of the film seem very useless to plot, and nothing really goes on. It had a comedy vibe, but nothing was funny. Except for Ecem Erkek, she was funny. I really liked her performance.

The movie opens like a flower while you watch it and becomes much more meaningful. However, character development is weak. Much thing goes on around Gülseren, and only in the last scenes, we see a change in her character. I think the film could have been much better, but it is still a good movie to watch.

There are and will be many negative reviews. This is mainly because the film is based on a play, which was very successful in its time (with different actors). However, the film neither intends to be better than the play nor to replace it. It is simply a play in its own right, which should be considered on its own merits and not compared to the original play. Therefore, I recommend everyone to watch the film and form their own opinion.

Execellent. Masterpiece. A nice overview of last 50 years of Turkey. Being a strong woman, being a smart woman always has many challenges in Turkey.

A well-known story for Turkish theater lovers. The scenario was processed successfully. Congratulations to the whole team. A performance that deserves an award from Ecem Erkek.

Have You Seen Fireflies? Yes, they are beautiful and threatened with extinction, as cute and charming as the film, but beware, strong triggers, loneliness, resilience, exaggerated machismo of a strongly patriarchal society, it hurts deep inside the soul, a beautiful and intensely sad film... The context history and evolution from 1960 to the present day and every revolution, excellent film cloth ... "Life is more difficult for those who are intelligent."
