It is a performances centric movie
... View MoreExcellent, Without a doubt!!
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

... View MoreWith the intention to break free from the strict familial restrictions, a suicidal young woman sets up a marriage of convenience with a forty-year-old addict, an act that will lead to an outburst of envious love. Gegen die Wand might be one of the funniest films i have ever seen especially when the girl gets beaten by 3 dudes and starts calling them names and attacking one of them again and again and then her face started turning into 'Balboa' from the beating plus she was on the floor and someone took advantage of her. I mean one of the funniest comedies of all time just don't see it tho. (0/10)
... View MoreI believe that a romance film is as good as the couple and I surely remember this pair of outcasts. This kind of films, though, get seriously good when the subtle nuances of romance are told without saying, when the relationship can be further analyzed as to why it happened in the first place or what made it develop this or that particular way. I´m not gonna give any spoiler but this one can be discussed for a while. Then we get the awesome soundtrack to seal the deal.
... View MoreThe story - Its slightly complicated. Its about two people. The male protagonist (names I cant pronounce) who was running away from life due to a certain nothingness in his life. He faces a girl who is running away, albeit from family and traditions of a Turkish family settled in Hamburg. She bumps into him and asks him to help her. Help, for marrying her so that she could come out of her boundations and life life, the way she wants to and discover things.While the guy is forced into this union, the association changes their lives in different ways. They agreed that they are only taking help of each other to satisfy the girls parents. It turns out that the girl goes on her reckless way discovering what she wants in life, and the guy who had no interest in anything falls in love with this girl.A turn of events bring them close emotionally but take them apart at the same time. The movie is all about the tryst in their fortunes and how the characters integrate their lives with their hopes of living it a certain way.For the complexity this movie tries to portray, yet handling the plot very well, I give it a 7 on 10.
... View MoreThis was definitely a bad movie.I saw that rating and the plot seemed good, and I had some expectations.The beginning was just stupid and unrealistic...a girl asking to a stranger that never talked to to marry her. Is not such a bad thing for a not to be realistic,but this was supposed to reflect reality.Birol Ünel was just great,he played so good his role but Siebl...I was expecting her to be a nice girl that felt in love with the older man that faced so much problems and help him but she turned to be just a superficial little girl,a slut that become a junkie too. So what can I say. Wasn't even a good story,cause she did not love him,she just used him.The scriptwriter just made her look a little jealous in some scenes,but that was all. A good love story should be deep,but this movie really did not touched me.The end could have saved the movie a little,but it did not...was just dry.Not any movie that treats a problem like addiction and is spiced with a bit of love deserves such a good rating.I would only give a 10 to Birol Ünel but the movie definitely deserves no more than a 5.
