Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

CurtHerzstark I know very little about the PKK or the Turkish military, however I have met kurds who fought in various organizations fighting mainly against former dictator Saddam Hussein in Iraq during the 80's.Watching this film that almost only depicts this conflict from the Turkish side, makes it very bias but offers also a rare glimpse into the Turkish feelings about terrorism, and the armed struggle against the kurds.We get to follow a military unit in the Turkish mountains fighting against a mysterious terrorist(and his terrorist cell) who kills mostly of his enemies with a Dragunov sniper rifle.Via a hijacked telephoneline he taunts the military units commander and also spreads his propaganda. The day to day harassments by this man and his terrorist cell is too much for the military commander and soon things will happen.It is not heroic or waterdown version we get here, sure there are scenes when the Turkish military comes across as very noble but there is also fear, anxiety and quite simply the question of why are they here? Being deployed this far up in the mountains fighting a neverending conflict, for very little money, praise etc, is it really worth it? There also scenes that contain very beautiful visuals, the cloudbursting, closeups on ice, etc and singing and poetry recitation by the young soldiers. For a western audience this may feel odd, and there are many passages that don't have any dialogues at all.There is also some critique against the Turkish military, and this came as surprise for me, since Turkey has had a long history of military control and military coups.It is very poetic war drama with some very graphic scenes of violence, anxiety, definitely not suited for kids. Some scenes reminds me of Terrence Malicks excellent war drama The Thin Red Line (1998), Coppolas Apocalypse Now (1979)etc.So for viewers who has no problems with a slowpaced, poetic war drama should check this one out.

jamigo4 I was considering viewing this film UNTIL I read the reviews here!I am rating it a "5" because I learned little from these reviews, since I read at LEAST "5" that were written by the SAME PERSON and at least ONE was the SAME review with 2 different titles!I DID learn that many STUDENTS and NON-ACTORS were used in this film, and in my opinion, these people were the SAME ones that submitted MOST of these reviews, in order to skew the ratings & give the film an artificially high IMDb score!I could conclude this because of gross similarities in WRITING STYLE and CONTENT of the BULK of these reviews...THIS IS CHEATING! ...I REFUSE to watch a film that has been so artificially HYPED!I also am suspicious of all war films that show NOTHING of the OTHER side. Yes, some of these reviews admit that this is a PROPAGANDA film, and I feel there is little to learn from that type of film unless it is openly labeled as propaganda, such as Leni Reifenstal's "Triumph of the Will", not simply as a "work of art" or valid artistic expression...Where are the NON-Turkish reviews of this film? I would also like to see at least ONE Kurdish review, just for BALANCE! So I will not waste any more time on this film UNLESS I can find some OBJECTIVE OPINIONS!

lefaikone I was browsing the reviews of "Nefes", and since there was only a handful of reviews by non-Turkish IMDb users - since it hasn't been screened much outside Turkey - I felt that I had to give my effort to it. Having said that, I feel that it's been badly misunderstood by many people. Many reviewers judged it as "propaganda" or "morally corrupted" etc. I couldn't disagree more.To me it wasn't even political, even less morally corrupted - disturbing and even revolting - yes. Corrupted - not even remotely. I might even call it pacifistic. The story is a deep and humane view in to the persona of a soldier. I don't say Turkish soldier, because the moral issues of it are so universal - basically the story could be placed in any war throughout the modern history.**Minor spoiler* Most of the critic on IMDb were about the parts were the Turkish special forces (the main characters) were shown doing unjustified violence to their unarmed prisoner. That's the "morally corrupted propaganda" part I guess. The way I see it, it's as anti-propaganda as it gets. It puts the main characters to same line as their enemies. It doesn't try to glorify or justify either sides part on the situation. How's that propaganda? **In a nutshell: Nefes is a visually sublime look in to the social and emotional aspects that drive young men to sacrifice their lives and futures for something as dreadful as war. It's about the brutal effects of violence to ones psyche. And mainly - It's about the endless amounts of everyday tragedies that drive so many of these emotionally fragile young men to see the war as their only option in life.
