After a long while of underrated comedy domination, Turkey Cinema presents a successfull comedy work deserving to be appreciated.

(In recent years, very few numbers of good comedy examples have been relaesed, like Ali Atay's movies among which "Limonata" subjectively looks more exclusive.)

The audience is invited, by Taylan Brothers, to a dark-comedic story which comprises sensitive ironical views based on satirical sub-texts on;

-. Fixed and monotype human relations,

-. Childhood roots on which patriarchal manners are instructured,

-. Screen addiction,

-. Failure of both the individual and the society etc...

Except some scenario faults, the movie staged a stronge sense through its dramatic tone and visual narration skills.

Its a good movie. The movie is not a cheap comedy. Its tragedy-dark comedy, not a comedy. The movie gave Turkish Cinema a different dimension. Love this one !👏🏽🙌🏽

The expectations were quite high for this movie since the writers, directors and cast are all well-known names with a good reputation in the Turkish movie industry. However, the expectations weren't met and this affected the experience badly beyond the actual quality of the movie.

In fact, this movie is a nice drama. And if it were a pure drama instead of trying to be an (absurd) comedy at the same time, I think it would be a great movie. Even though making a good drama movie should be harder than making a comedy movie; failing in comedy is also easier and as simple as failing to make people laugh. Unfortunately, Azizler(Turkish) or Stuck Apart failed on that for the most part. Besides, absurdity in this movie felt over the top and unnecessary. One might say that this over the top absurdity harmed the comedy further or even the succeeded drama. All in all, these factors contributed to the fact that absurd comedy and drama didn't match well for this one.

Whereas the drama around "loneliness" was pretty solid. We have characters with different types of problems with loneliness and this contrast gives a nice depth to the story. The acting overall was pretty good too, as expected. Engin Gunaydin as the leading role was flawless. Haluk Bilginer was also great as "Erbil". I truly liked Erbil and his character background was beautiful.

In conclusion, if you remove or ignore the discordant absurd comedy parts, you will have a well-done drama. So I think this movie still worth a watch. But as a drama rather than a comedy.

A very good example of general decline on cinema quality after streaming. Above average casting and role playing below average story and directing. What the hell was that. Supposed to be funny, supposed to be romantic. Below expectations

I have been impatiently waiting for this movie since the first day I heard about it, because I love every single person, who is in the movie. However I didn't like the movie.

I believe the movie looks like a great project on paper, but for some reason the directors and writers failed to convey that to us. There are some ridiculous scenes that have no place not only in this movie, but in any movie. I watched every second of it with the hope that it would get better and everything would make sense in the end, but unfortunately I finished it quite unsatisfied and utterly disappointed.

I don't understand how absurdity is very popular in Turkish movies, yet nobody has ever used it deservedly. For instance in this movie, you see absurdity being used excessively and very unnecessarily so that it gets impossible for you to get involved. It is also partly because of the characters that were written down and dirty.

One of the writers Berkun Oya already proved his great ability to write thanks to very succesful series Innocent and Ethos that he wrote himself, but for some reason he could not show this ability in this film. Collaboration of the directors Taylan brothers with the actors Engin Gunaydin & Binnur Kaya was also much better in Vavien, which is one of my favorite Turkish movies. Therefore Stuck Apart is unfortunately nothing but a disappointment for me.
