Reviews

After reading reviews here, I have decided to watch this movie in Barcelona. Although I really did not like the way trailer has been put together, still wanted to give it a shot. Headed to a local cinema showing it in original language. As the trailer was telling me like "don't go don't waste your time and money", it was beyond belief that some people will rate this movie highly just because its an another "master" !? piece from Woody Allen.

First of all movie is not a romantic comedy, its not a science fiction, its not a drama, its not a romantic drama nor its a comedy. Its a very creative idea of time traveling put in a very boring interrelated patterns.

Acting is horrible as well. It could have been a great Hollywood comedy if directed better with better comedy lines. There was a single line which I laughed about Valium. That was something which they could have used throughout the movie.

If you are not into literature and art, do not waste your time.

This movie has a spiritual meaning which you can only understand if you read and educate yourself about quantum psychics before hand. The script is not a brainer and it is very simple. You will guess the next scene without any doubt. If you are looking to watch a cleverly made, Matrix like science fiction, do not bother to watch this movie. You will find it not an exciting and loaded with virtual effects.

However if you are practicing quantum psychics and you want to grow with the message embedded within the movie, go for it. This movie is not for everyone. This is definitely not a film which can win Oscars. acting is not an extraordinary as the script does not require actors to push themselves more. I gave 7 because it was predictable.

I just watched this movie, its beyond describing a movie as a boring one. I do like art movies which are not always for everyone but this movie is not for anyone at all.

Do not waste your time unless you do follow a psychology major at a university and want to analyze some para maniac personality. Which even does not give you much.

This film is just boring...All the cast is brilliant, cinematography is great yet it does not have anything else. There are 2 scenes you can laugh perhaps or you need to be high to enjoy it.

Its a nice try yet wrong script.

I believe this is a true gift for art and cinema. Film is like a very expensive wine with an amazing taste which justifies it price. Its dramatic, its funny, its romantic and its gay. cinematography is just delicious. I believe Ferzan Ozpetek made another breakthrough film for European and world cinema.

Film takes you to a magical world which is in fact very real. It lets you sink in your chair and enjoy cinema. Yet it has a full content, acting is amazing, script is marvelous. I certainly loved it yet Hammam stays my favorite Ozpetek film.

He did try some non-gay movies, yet this is his talent and his brand. I am glad he made this come back. yet the move misses Serra Yilmaz, a no-no for Ozpetek films. she could have played the maid role.

I can not imagine that anyone can give this film a positive review. This film is a terribly produce film. Film has two parts. At its first part, you will feel that it is a nicely done Hollywood film with a message. You won't regret till the second part. In the middle of the film you feel that the film ends because all 3 family members were shot death with weapons which creates a whole as big as a tier in a wall. Yet our hero and his son survives in a miracle. Then the cheap comedy starts.

Second part of the movie is possibly sponsored by the weapon industry as our hero, an ordinary man who never seen a weapon in his life, buys few weapons and with a small instruction booklet he learn how to use these in few hours. They show the booklet few times which is stating "it is easy to use" message and remains in front of camera for few seconds. I guess half of the movie producer couldn't finance this anymore and found weapon industry to fund this. The hero suddenly uses these weapons like a pro, well in fact even better than a pro as he kills all remaining professional killers. I could not take it anymore after the scene where his enemy and himself start shooting each other and later sit next to each other on a church stool and start chatting instead of dying.

However anyone watched an Indian movie will recognize the style. I later found that indeed the film is produced by an Indian producer. If you like Indian movies, this is a great option yet if you pay for a Hollywood movie, do not bother to go and waste your time. It is stupid, terrible, time wasting and beyond comedy.
