My Father's Violin

This was a beautiful movie, quite honestly. I was in tears several times, laughing and just so engrossed in this uncle and niece relationship coming together. Yes it has its cliche moments, but the perspective of how a child really can change your life in many different ways was beautifully portrayed and I couldn't pull away from the movie regardless of how predictable it was. Just wonderful acting and beautiful music!

I'm a little biased when it comes to the beautiful Belcim Bilgin, I will watch anything she is in and the little girl did a great job!. The storyline was fairly predictable and you knew where it was going. I watch movies to be entertained, not criticise and I'd have been disappointed had it not ended the way it did.

I love Turkish movies, they seem to be devoid of of the special effects the Hollywood movies depend on these days and they have a knack of holding your interest throughout.

Yikes, i see many negative reviews but i enjoyed it a lot. I thought the acting was very good. Seeing engin alton in a 21st century piece was very good. He displayed, effectively i thought, a wide range of emotions very convincingly. His performance wasn't static as the character grew throughout the drama. The little girl is a pro, very able and very convincing adapting to changes in her life. And the wife, well, of course she was beautiful but that scene where she and her husband are reconciling was moving. And lastly i liked the music. I think it's definately worth less than 2 hours of your time. I like turkish tv and films a lot. I wish netflix had more.

Such a relief to watch a movie about family and love and caring. Great performances by Engin Duzyatim (from Dirilis Ertugrul) and the absolutely joyful young actress Gulizar who plays his niece, and many of the other actors. It's lovely. I cared about all the characters, and the story was well paced and engaging. This is at it's core a story about family -and we do really need these stories to remind us of what is truly important: the awakening of love and the changes that brings. Watch it for your heart.

A simple plot, predictable plot..story that will tug at your heartstrings..although run-of-the-mill dialogues, a much cliche sequences with obvious gaps such as a missing depiction of child's reaction and emotions after losing her only parent, somewhat incongruous pieces in the story but overall the story glides fluidly, it is riveting that forces you to overlook the glitches.. filmed in Istanbul and good cinematography but above all, it is the violin that fills one's heart with joy and captivates through out .. the compositions are indeed a treat to the ears.. This movie will not leave you cold.
