Woof, where to begin.

As far as dramatic scenes go, there are some great ones. Emotional but understated. Just super, as Curtis puts it "draining"

I absolutely could not/would not live there or any place like it. The scenery was beautiful and yet filled me with a sense of despair.

Overall, I felt I likely got out of it what was intended. Though I can't say I'd watch it again. I had to watch Sing Street again afterward to cheer myself up.

6/10 based on the posted rating list.

First off, I'd like to pour a drink out to everyone that made it through this movie. We're part of an elite group now.

Echo the novel statements, I wasn't sure how to describe the dialogue until I saw you guys mention that.

For me, this movie was like going to a fancy restaurant where they promise you you'll get a great steak but have to wait 3 hours. Even if the steak is good, it's still a very long time to wait and ultimately the payoff doesn't feel worth it.

I gave it a 4. I don't see myself coming back to this movie much like i did with Sing Street and Victoria and I don't think I could ever recommend this to anyone. I just wasn't that sucked into the movie. I didn't really connect with the characters like I felt I should have and ultimately felt very drained by the end of the movie.

I will say that there were a few hidden gems though, I thought the movie was shot very well. I love the shot where Aydin and Nihal are fighting, Nihal sits next to a mirror where you see Nihal's reflection. I also enjoyed the money fireplace scene because it felt like the only time you felt genuine tension. Unfortunately though, that's where I have to end my list of pros.

Giving it a 3 largely due to the time regret component of it. I tried to go into it, knowing it was over 3 hours, with an open mind. But I couldn't help but think "Oh I would've cut that/That scene was too long" throughout the whole movie.

Something I love about FE Watches is that I force myself to watch movies I otherwise wouldn't. This just was not the movie for me. I finished it! But just not for me.

I think it had potential. Maybe some things were lost in translation. But I just cannot relate to this movie at all. Everything was super serious, no comedic relief, and the conversations were drawn out.

Hands down the favorite character was the town drunk. I thought it might be the sister, especially when she popped off on the wife. But when the siblings were talking, it was just the longest bitchfest for no reason.

Liked the scene where the drunk threw the money in the fire. I'm sure there was significance with the young wife lady being all emotionally attached to the money (by crying) even though she willingly gave it away.

I think there just wasn't anything special about any of the characters. Like the people in the movie were very regular. The culture was cool. Thought it was interesting to see the rich guy with his westernized laptop despite being in a place where people have to walk all day for a conversation with him. But yeah I wish the storyline was more focused and precise.
