Great Film overall

An Exercise In Nonsense

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Blistering performances.

This is my first time to write a review on IMDb, just for this movie,Issiz Adam, which I rated 10, because I found some pieces of me in it, and I'm sure some of you feel the same way too. Issiz Adam, is a Turkish word means isolated man, and of course our leading actor. For what I see this movie is a story of love and loneliness, given the fact that the part of love story is believed to be normal or stupid or whatever, I will only talk about the part of loneliness, because it's exactly what my loneliness looks like if it needs to be shown. No doubt many movies reflect humanity, desire, hatred, greed and so on, they are all over the Hollywood films and others, no big deal. But this loneliness is more like a personal and precious thing, a secret that few people share. In the movie there's a quote Ada says to Alper "there's no one.there never will be. You'll just borrow other people's kids, lives and bodies."true. We all are small islands dying to go shore, but sadly the only thing we can do is floating on the sea, till the day a big wave comes and swallows all of us.

First i apologize for any possible mistakes but i m not a native speaker. i watched the movie just after a period of great emotional stress , so was kinda easier for me to partly see myself in there . the director indeed uses the stereotypes of the mid 30's successful lonely with flat life male and the sweet , good and unlucky girl that is searching for a lifetime partner , but for me not in an annoying way . the movie had a flow that kept you going on with minor flat parts or exaggerations . the movie deffo is not for an Oscar at any case , but is interesting to watch . despite what many may believe imo , it s totally a guy's movie that puts in a modest way the dilemmas some of us we may have at some point in our lives , like career or family , commitment or not and so on presenting also the complicated at some extend family relations and the " if i had made this choice back then " issues . i think for a guy it's easy to put himself in Alper's position . i deffo recommend this film but if u have fresh " wounds" prepare to feel emotional not only due to the scenario but also 'cause of the amazing , retro , full of feelings music ( 10/10 for the music ) .

A tasteless film with the most conventional plot, poor acting, poor camera and poor directing. You will quite vainly look for any deeper meanings or a message. For there is none. It might make some people cry but so do some low quality soap operas. It is quite obvious that the director comes from this background. There is nothing unexpected and the sex scene is one of the least erotic ones after Bodyguard. Fortunately, not the most typical Turkish feature film of our day but unfortunately the one that makes more money and attracts more audience than those worth your money. It would be a relief to know that the director does not have any higher aspirations than making a film for a particular audience that enjoys non-stimulating entertainment and cheap love stories if he had not been honestly puzzled why he was not selected for any, yes, ANY, film festival competition with this one.

When I first watched the movie for about 3 days I felt its influence... Maybe the reason for that is during the movie I felt very close to both characters... Alper the deserted man who cannot even stand much long to his mother, cannot sleep when someone else is sleeping near him and gets really nervous when his girlfriend knows every inch of his belongings at home... Even from the beginning Ada knew what was upon in their relationship and how shall it gonna end... Although she hesitated, she chose to be with Alper... After the first night they spent at her house, her jump from bed looking scared, her jokes about marriage, and her experiences from previous relations... these are the facts of today's modern life... the speech between the couple was very simple and realistic... The last 10 minutes were really devastating..
