Review of Alone

Alone (2008)
1/10
Cheap and cheesy money maker
25 January 2009
A tasteless film with the most conventional plot, poor acting, poor camera and poor directing. You will quite vainly look for any deeper meanings or a message. For there is none. It might make some people cry but so do some low quality soap operas. It is quite obvious that the director comes from this background. There is nothing unexpected and the sex scene is one of the least erotic ones after Bodyguard. Fortunately, not the most typical Turkish feature film of our day but unfortunately the one that makes more money and attracts more audience than those worth your money. It would be a relief to know that the director does not have any higher aspirations than making a film for a particular audience that enjoys non-stimulating entertainment and cheap love stories if he had not been honestly puzzled why he was not selected for any, yes, ANY, film festival competition with this one.
