A knowing, thoughtful culture-clash drama, this film has a strong sense of the tension between old-world traditions and present-day values. Go to Full Review

Jerod S @jeroduptown Oct 21 Being Turkish is hard on your love life. See more Peter K @Vacadoug Aug 4 To treat your only son who is a champion swimmer in such a cruel manner was difficult to watch; but there is a story of redemption in this movie, too. Cultures may clash, but empathy survives. See more super a Jan 30 This was good but frustrating. I couldn't believe how the parents treated their only son. At least it had a happy ending. I only wish the parents had apologized and admitted they were wrong. See more Carlos N @Can545 12/26/2023 Wow, talk about culture shock. Storyline unexpected and I was glad it had a happy ending. I expected the family would shoot Mike. Really, it seems all movies like this end in the worst ways. This isn't an Oscar winner but it was visually arresting in Turkey and psychologically poignant in its treatment of bias in the Turkish community. At the same time, it was like any other family, wanting the best for their son, their only son. I think most parents just don't have all the facts to make the right decisions and then regret what they did once they understand their child's happiness is at stake. It was formulaic perhaps, but well done. See more Alex B 10/30/2023 Compelling story with a dash of Turkish/German flavor thrown in to a Swiss locale. Overall, a good story with a compelling twist. See more thomas f 10/12/2022 Fantastic movie and definitely worth a watch! See more Read all reviews
