I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I have never really watched a movie that wasn't made in Hollywood or my countries own movie called Nollywood,thus i suffered a little bit of culture shock.The beginning of the movie was a little bit shaky and funny, but later i fell in love with the movie, and i got so emotional when the little boy was shot.I loved the chemistry between Yasmın and her Turkish lover,and i felt her pain when she was been raped, which has always been one of the ills of war or conflict, in which most movies tend to ignore making the main character looking untouchable. Thumbs up to the producers and actors and actress of the film, for a small time production it was well played, now i believe one can make a great impact and contribution in life with whatever little we have. kudos team....

It's a nice movie that deals with love, conspiracy, and action. The story is constructed in a nice way however, it would have been much better if they wouldn't left out the story of the gospel of Saint Barnabas. The triangle and tension between Jasmine, Adamos, and Kemal were shown in a good way. Historically speaking, the movie gives some information about how the situation was in Cyprus back then. At the same time, one of the things that I liked most with the movie is that although people were experiencing war, still there was a humane aspect of it. In other words, both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot women are the ones who suffered because of the war and men are the ones who are fighting. Overall, I recommend the movie to everyone because the movie is not limited to Cypriots but anyone who is interested about action and love movies.

I had a chance to watch the film when I was in Cyprus. Code Name Venus is a film that is about three men and a woman's love story. It started with a woman's quest for rediscovering her past life but at the same time it is about inter ethnic violence and love. Personally, I like the images in the film so much. The landscape is quite nice and it reminded me how beautiful Cyprus was in the past. Good camera angles, good location shots... Lighting is surprisingly good from a Cypriot director! Probably the best quality of images from Cyprus up until now! The only problem in the film is the issue of the Gospel of St Barnabas. I was expecting to have more information but at the end of the film it just ended! Generally speaking, a film that is worth to watch.

Exelant Film congratulations to the cast and the director one of the best documentaries i have seen.It could not have been more to the truth about the events that took place in Cyprus.After 50 years the truth has started to surface.Only God is the true witness of exactly what happened in Cyprus in that era.The purpetrators know who they are and it will be a matter of time before they will be held to account for their actions. How amazing that a whole country could split people that grew up together as brothers and sisters could end up killing each other all because of a handful of people thats what money/power does to some people if they have no fear of the creator.May god bless you all.
