Let's be realistic.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It's so beautiful. The location is amazing, makes me wanna go there so much. If anyone knows where the island is, please let me know.
What I got frustrated was why was she hallucinating. I wished it was real. Oh well...

I am not a big fan of romance movies but to me it was all I needed. Plot is maybe slow but not boring. It touched me, and any movie that can do that is special. If you are looking for something that will live a mark on your soul just go ahead and watch it. It's not epic but it seems to be a little piece of life. Don't let this one miss you. Everything imperfect has a chance to become perfect. This is the first time I see these actors and they have done their job very well. Music is following the plot. The place where the movie had been taken is beautiful. Now I have found one more destination to visit. I will be coming back to this movie just because of the feeling.

On one movie site part of the plot summary reads.. "A weird looking, grubby recluse, comes up-to him and proclaims: "Don't you remember me? I'm the man you fell in love with." This description is as convoluted and confusing as watching this movie. You can call Engin Aky a bunch of things, but in this movie, not many would be agreeing with 'weird and/ or grubby.. and Farah Zeynep Abdullah is most definitely a 'her.' The film has some charm.. but the storyline is way too muddled, it's near impossible to kept track what's going on at any one moment from the next. And really the story is so simple, when you come right down to it, it could have presented in an hour TV show..and with commercials the 45 minutes would've been more than enough.

Basically a variation on the Beauty and the Beast story, Kerem Deren's film focuses on the experiences of young İstanbullu Eylül (Farah Zeynep Abdullah), who has a near-fatal accident resulting in the loss of her short-term memory. To help recover it, her friend Berrak (Ceren Moray) takes her back to the island of Bozcaada, where she went for a location-trip, and encountered Tekin (or Tek) (Engin Akürek), an artist with acute agoraphobia. He has forsaken the sophisticated world of İstanbul for an edenic existence in a seaside home, with no one but match-making child Gülşen (Serra Keskin) for company. Eylül finds his existence rather rustic but strangely attractive, a welcome alternative to the hurlyburly of contemporary İstanbul The film juxtaposes Eylül's currently confused state of mind with an analysis of what happened to her in the past; she had a love-affair with Tekin, which became passionate on both sides. Despite the ordinariness of his life, she fell for him; but left him in the belief that she had to return to her metropolitan İstanbul life. Her accident - and subsequent memory-loss - was caused by reading something in the paper about Tekin's fate. The film creates an idyllic world on Bozcaada full of sunshine, quaint buildings and unpopulated cafés; the place where any harassed city-dweller might like to escape to. It is Eylül's misfortune that she does not understand the advantages of this life, or Tekin's true feelings for her. There are a few clichéd moments, especially involving the two lovers on the beach; and Abdullah is at times extremely unconvincing in her role, especially when it comes to communicating her disordered state of mind. Nonetheless BI KÜÇÜK EYLÜL MESELESİ is entertaining to watch.
