A good watch, but difficult too
18 December 2016
I think it's an amazing movie in terms of the cinematography and storyline. All the scenes are beautiful to look at and it has a very interesting script; but somehow the atmosphere didn't settle. The religious connections didn't make a meaning and the amount of physcological content you need to deep dive to was too much for me. Overall I found it not up to par with the other Reha Erdem films. Still a good watch, but a difficult watch too. This still adds up to the good track record of Reha Erdem, who is one of the best Turkish auteur film makers. And one last line for amazon, please remove the 10line criteria in reviews. Thanks

Totally missed chance
16 December 2016
This film was one of the worst book adaptation movies I have ever seen. Although the book was great, they changed the whole story line, added new scenes, changed the order of events and turned the film film into some kind of a Frankenstein. I can't understand how it was approved to go to market with such an amateur way of script writing.

Being a completely missed chance, acting in this movie remains as an irrelevant discussion as the conversations are completely unrealistic, and the characters are left dull again unlike the book.

I would suggest everyone to read the book, which is a marvelous piece of literature, and skip the film. This movie is nowhere near decent film making.
