This is a kind of a movie you cannot even give a spoiler because the movie is already full of cliches. There is a mega loser groom to be and an extremely irritating dad. I don't even want to spend another minute on it. Please don't continue watching if you couldn't like it by the 20th minute, since the movie will not go anywhere.

Master of None
(2015–2021)
Season 1 > 2
27 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Season 1 is really cool, funny, and warm, so it deserves 7-7.5/10, but the second season is really not well prepared. S2E1 was terrible, I found myself seriously thinking about if Ansari made that episode for just a free Italy vacation. Anyway, looking forward to watching better shows from Ansari.
Outlaw King
(2018)
Confused Director
16 November 2018
I am a big fan of historical fiction regardless of its genre, it'd be a movie, serial, or a book. So I was very excited to see this one. Apparently the director had a lot to tell about, but instead of putting efforts to form his "story" to fit in a standard movie narrative, it seems he just decided to shoot every scene he was thinking of in a chronological order. That's why a daily life in a fishing village and a decisive ambush shares the similar length of screening, or a family talk and a meeting for a rebellion... Obeying different kings twice, a death of a king, marriage, having ambushed twice, losing family members, etc all happens without ceasing, without any moment to give a background, to deepen the character. Acting was good, but since we could not have any time to relate with any characters, even acting seems funny some time.
When We Leave
(2010)
Shipload of clichés!
13 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Shipload of clichés! I know it is Feo's first movie, but the way she tried to take will not take her to anywhere... We know how many good Iranian directors failed so bad when they just chose to grasp "the oriental stuff" and polish it for the Western movie theaters.
It seems like Feo Aladag, as a director & writer, has a lot to say, but since she just decides to mix up 'every single ideas' in her first movie, everything looks so simplistic, and kind of banal. There is nothing much to talk about the acting, but the plot is full of clichés. The women's tragedy in this world, especially in the more traditional cultures, is unbearable truth, but the director failed big time to show the complex natures of this problem and its outcomes... It seems to me, the director just got satisfied by showing directly how bad the family is. She just doesn't put effort to deepen the characters and their relationships. In some scene, it's seen very amateurish.
To name just one example, we can simply put that the movie is based on a tradition family which got angry of their daughter since she left her husband, right? It is okay, but in the later scenes we see that another daughter of the same family got pregnant without marriage, and the thing the same father does is just bribing the lover, who got his daughter pregnant. The father, who even decided to kill one of his daughters just because she left her husband, bribed the lvoer who got his another daughter pregnant? Does it make any sense? It could make some sense, if the director showed us the complex nature of the traditional family, but she just satisfied with the cliches...
