In short, it can be counted among the well-crafted fantastic films of Turkish cinema. The word fantastic is not intended to diminish the movie’s value in any way.
lecagot on Ekşi Sözlük When the central conflict is conveyed through strong editing and theater-trained actors, a truly fine film emerges. They have blended the spiritual realm with Eastern culture in a compelling way. A film well worth watching.
lunchtogether on Ekşi Sözlük In my opinion, this film is deeply underappreciated. Honestly, I liked it very much; just like Serdar Akar’s other films, I think it’s wonderful. Granted, if I ranked his works it might sit last, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a very good movie. Everyone keeps harping on the Hamlet comparison. First of all, only Nihat İleri’s character speaks in that manner, and that theatrical delivery actually lends the film a distinctive aura and magic. I found it quite fitting.
