04/16/2009 I was really expeting much from this film... The only thing that i really liked is the Camera Movements.... Too many questions are still unanswered on this one... See more 03/09/2009 Slice of life movie that isn't really all that interesting. I guess I can see why it would be appealing but it just didn't work for me. See more 02/21/2009 For most of this I thought it had a chance to make my list. I really dug how understated the material was and the director also makes some excellent impressionistic triggers into memory. The Jeanne Dielman-like stoic neurosis of the main character was right up my alley, but unfortunately the director eventually opted to try to explain the character using a cliched emotional baggage schtick, especially when it's so incongruent with the obliqueness of the rest of the film. To its credit it ends on a very ambivalent note, avoiding the trap of resolving all tension. See more 02/21/2009 This Charming Girl is one of those films that works more as an observation. The script never intrudes on the protagonists life, thoughts or feelings. Instead we are treated to fantastic minimalist scenes that use the actors performance to convey what is going on. It isn't explicitly spelled out in the dialogue and some scenes will depend on your interpretation. It's a staggering performance. The film as a whole does tend to drag in places but it adds to the overall impact of other scenes. The build up of ordinary life becoming almost tedious but impossible to resist. It isn't entertainment, nor is it educational, it is simply a record of emotions. See more 02/08/2009 2005 Seattle International Film Festival See more 09/17/2008 Guney Kore'den kaliteli bir drama.
