    A very good movie

    A very good movie which contains a lot of life lessons and important messages. It was directed also in unusual way which i liked. Highly recommended. Cast was good, it describes the status quo of the system. Even though this movie is 19 years old, we still can observe similar trends and structure in current framework. Educational system unfortunately still serves to interests of few people and testing students create huge amounts of stress and chaos in their lives. Life is tough, not easy. This movie depicts all these messages and acting was also on spot. I wish this movie to be shown on TVs but I suppose certain stakeholders on top do not like smart movies to be shown on televisions.

    6.5 ! oh come on, maybe not 10 or 9 but definitely 7 or 8!

    Good directed movie, you can enjoy every moment. Above Turkish standards of its time, good story, good cinematography, acting is well enough. I am guessing non watchers have voted for the movie.

    As a movie, it's an average movie, but what it wanted to tell was good

    I had seen scenes from this movie from the clip of Nil Karaibrahimgil's song, I was curious. There was also veteran action actor JCVD. As a movie, it's an average movie, but what it wanted to tell was good.

    One of the best Turkish movies I've ever seen!!

    This movie successfully shows the audience how this "university exam" concept affects high school students' lives dramatically in Turkey. In my opinion the acting performance of all the young actors are great and effective and also the musics chosen for the movie are making the movie more emotional and binds you with the characters of the movie more deeply.

    I guess the ones who will find a part from their life in this movie are the students. Also in the film we see not only the exam stress that the students are dealing with but also their relationships and mostly disagreements with their parents. In my opinion every parent should watch this movie as well in order to see how their negative attitude can have crucial effects on the child's psychology.

    "Sinav" is a movie worth seeing for. I'm sure that everyone will enjoy this synthesis of drama and comedy.

    From Horse Race To University Exam

    We have watched Sinav with young people in Khalkedon. Sinav gives a priority to young people's problems. One of the most important problems is education and Grand University Exam. The question asked in the film that is possible to measure the performance with one exam? As a main basis horse race was given in the movie.

    Ruya Onal is excellent; we can see her movies in soon. Jean-Claude Van Damme was not suit in his role. If he would played, we should have seen much more action scenes. Other players were average. Some characters, some typical pronunciation sticks to the player. We see Kadir Copdemir with same sort of character.

    The director tried to bring velocity to the movie by accelerating scenes. However for the velocity we need much more peculiarities.

    The movie is not bad on the whole; at least it gives us valuable clues about life itself.
