The two central characters have zero chemistry. How can you possibly cast a movie, however badly written, and not find people who have chemistry with each other? The two characters, Sahra and Deniz, are in conflict for the entire first half of the movie, which is typical for many scripts, but the writing is boring. Early on, Sahra makes a bet that endangers her career, but the character is not stupid enough to make such a bet, so it rings inauthentic. The two actresses playing the grandmothers are extremely weak, worse than the other two. Deniz's friend is adequate, and probably the best actor in this subpar movie. The actress playing Sahra's grandmothers character is one of the worst actresses I've ever seen act.
The only redeeming value of the film is the scenery, which is shown a few times in the first half of the movie, which is as far as I've gotten. I'm willing to update this after seeing more of this horrible film just to complete the review, but I really don't imagine being able to recommend it.
You have a problem with a script If in your movie, the two characters who are in the major conflict cannot even speak to each other, which is the case for one of the two characters in the story. One talks, and the other one doesn't say a thing at some points. I won't reveal who (big surprise!). When characters undergo personal growth during a story, there is of necessity some sort of natural feeling of transition in them that occurs over a period of time in several scenes. In this movie, they decided to do it all at once, with no believable prologue.
I am generally skeptical of watching movies that have been out for some time and only have a few hundred ratings. I violated my own rule! Lol. Please apply my rule and spare yourself some time.
P. S. To be updated...
