WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Ferideniz I have no words to describe my feelings about it. It is a must watch! I couldn't keep my tears till the end for this movie. It moved something very deep within me and touched the roots of my heart.
Coshua I watched this great job couple hours ago. Director has came too. She answered questions after movie. Pelin Esmer is really pretty, successful and kind woman.After last scene, I was like "That's it. Perfect." Viewers of this movie has to decide, is Yavuz gonna die or not gonna die in their minds. That's the point.
Sancar Seckiner We know that the best Turkish female film director is Yeşim Ustaoğlu.http://www.yesimustaoglu.com/en/Her films are as below : 1984 – Bir Anı Yakalamak (short) 1987 – Magnafantagna (short) 1994 – İz / The Track 1999 – Güneşe Yolculuk / Journey to the Sun 2003 – Bulutları Beklerken / Waiting for the Clouds 2008 – Pandora'nın Kutusu / Pandora's Box 2012 – Araf 2016 - Tereddüt / Clair Obscur.Not any more my friend. Not any more.
Ali KINCAL One of the best Turkish movies I have seen in a while.As the train the movie's point-of-view character (Leyla) took moves forward to its destination, the plot thickens. We see some of Anatolia from the train and on the train. 'The Blue Train' has a cozy atmosphere in which Leyla and other passengers who are like a summary of the Turkish society engage in simple but also interesting conversations. Tea, the road, everyday problems, secrets... Almost everything about life is on that train so that we could learn more about death and why anyone would come to desire it.The movie is so full of lovely poetry and literary references in Turkish that I do hope the subtitles can live up to them.I strongly recommend it. It's best to watch it in a chilly day and critique it afterwards with friends at a café that is as cozy as 'the Blue Train', which is exactly what I did.
