Zhang Yimou, in general, is the director of the epical drammas. But all the while he manages to tell little stories with a certain cynicism and black humor. One second is one of these films that tells us a very cheerful story with touching tones of hearthwarming. The film is a kind of Chinese "Cinema Paradiso", which is full of love for cinema and for this seventh art. But Yimou not only speaks of love for cinema but also of a friendship and solidarity between a prisoner who has escaped from a concentration camp and a child that their friendship is in fact based on the roots about the interests of cinema. Despite all this good intention that the director wants to put forward, unfortunately the film is unable to end this brilliant idea with a decent final blow and leaves the spectator with a dry mouth disappointing and perplexed without giving the coup de grace that otherwise would have been a sensational ending. .

Sayat nova, for people who do not appreciate real cinema and run after easy tastes to spend less than an hour and a half, is a boring film. But for the one who appreciates those secrets of the seventh art it is a little jewel to be savored every moment. Each scene is a seventeenth-century painting to admire with a certain emotion. Music plays a leading role in this delightful work. Each musical note with each frame forms a narrative model to symbolize a part of the great poet's life. Parajanov proves to be a true filmmaker with this fantastic gem. Soviet authorities has banned this film for decays for its religious matter.

If I were an enemy or an opponent of Netflix, I would have made this film to push them away or keep them off the customers and to cancel their contract of this network. A terribly mediocre and bad film. Better to avoid it at all costs.

It wasn't as bad as I expected. Okay, so many clichés continuously but at least it keeps the tension continuously in high level even if the whole plot rotates between four walls for the whole film duration, with a few exceptions of flashbacks. We, who have seen all those in a Netflix action film, I mean in a negative way, it was truly surprising to meet a film that was a little more successful.

I don't understand some critics including those from magazines like Variety. Okay, this is not an arthouse movie, not even a mainstream one, but the story of a famous singer told in this way for better or for worse. In my opinion, a film that tells the story of the famous singer avoiding any exaggeration in a simple but correct way. This is what matters most of all. A movie to see.

Another fiction that exploits cancer disease, stupidly and for no reason. I don't understand what these films with such a plot are for, that they serve nothing more than to hurt the feelings and grief of cancer patients and their relatives and family members. It should be a self-censorship that avoids producing these films with these cheap plots.

Don't mind the negative comments too much. . This is not a serious time travel movie but more a past - present time mixed fantasy kind one. Early 1900's istanbul scenes mixed with the late 20th century pop music is the one example. I am being a time travel movies fan, I have seen many American or western films of this kind but when a turkish film becomes to have the similar plot and the narrative style, the Turkish audience rejects it. The Turks would have appreciated this film if it had been of Western origin but they only criticizes this film because it belongs to their same country. A strange characteristic paradox. Hazal Kaya with her joyful childlike acting deserves more positive comments I think in a fantastic kind film and fits his role very well and both the photography and the staging and the cinematography are as fabulous as the costumes of the time. Also the interesting plot with a curious continuity. Don't wait for a masterpiece but there are many things to enjoy you inside.

Very bad screenplay and plot and worst acting I ever seen. Please don't waste your time. It seems like a halloween school play. Very amateurish directing.

The plot has very holes. Screenplay is so weak, and acting dredful. Very amateurish directing. Please don't waste your time.

One of the best love movies of all time. Very intense and romance. I don't get the negative reviews. Maybe is better for some audience to watch the film rather then to use their cellphone during the projection.

Finally an amazing serie from Netflix. Great plot and twists and screenplay.

I don't remember if I gave only 1 point for a film in Imdb until this film but this one really deserves this judgement. The plot is very clichè, nothing new, boring and amateurish. Terrible acting. This is a fine example of a absymal movie. Avoid it if possible.

I had earlier impressed by the negative critics to reject to see the film. But thank goodness I saw it and I thought that this is a film full of poetry. Of course this movie is not for Star wars kind lovers. but much more philosophical, poetic and engaging. of course it has a very slow narrative way but not to bore you, on the contrary it makes you more curious about the continuity of the film.

One of the best films of 2019. Great casting and amazing story. A must see movie.

Unfortunately there is not any real interest in this silly, poor made tv serie. Unsuccesful characters, very amateurish screenplay and directing. Don't waste your time.

The acting is excellent beginning from Mr. Bilginer and Miss. Nur Surer. But there are some screenplay errors such the house stolen keys detail. How she can get in the house if her keys were stolen out from her boy friend? These kind of errors ruins the total narrative. And we don't know any clue about Tarik's past that his pshycological deseas come from. Overall good thriller base narration specially in the beginning.

The initial plot is very promising. But the rest is a great mess and confusion. Please don't waste your time.

Just another Netflix trash. Nothing special e very annoying serie.

The nurses have nothing to lose but this silly movie. . They have a world to win. Nurses of all countries unite!" 😂

A real story about the Cuban investigation case against proUSA anti Cuban activities. Great narration and amazing suspence. 2 hours extremly thrilling. Thanks Olivier Assayas. Acting: 7 Story: 8 Production values: 7 Suspence - thriller level: 8 Action: 5 Mystery - unknown: 6 Romance level: 6 Comedy elements: none Overall: 8

Another Netflix trash. So stupid and very confusing plot. Don't waste your time.
