Between Family (2017) User Reviews

Hilarious

[gzm_88 · 9/10 · 25 February 2019]

Great scenario, screenplay, acting and directing. I've really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

It is a good Turkish production!

[khaleesii · 9/10 · 10 January 2019]

During the movie, you can find something different to laugh at.

All the queen's tropes elevated and then some by magnificent acting

[ufster-2 · 7/10 · 10 December 2017]

Comedy in general isn't about innovation but execution. This particular flick is no exception to the rule as it's filled with tropes and the usual comedic tricks available in the author's bag. That being said, Birsel does indeed show a knack for the rhythm of a scene and has become quite competent (if not masterful) in blind-sighting the audience leading up to the punchline. The characters and the script however aren't anything particularly original so it would be a stretch to give any scriptwriter credit for this. What really saves the day is the chemistry between the two lead roles and the brilliant acting overall. This is to be expected since all the actors picked to perform in this movie have proved themselves as top-notch comedic actors time and again. Well, I've enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to those in need of a good laugh.

Gülse Birsel did it again!...

[sarikayamufit · 10/10 · 8 January 2018]

Like always, she wrote an excellent scenario and collect right person for each role. She is the best comedy producer/author in Turkey. The film is perfect in terms of subject,players, scenario and level. you can watch it all together with your family, girl friend or alone because the language spoken is really levelled.

BEST Turkish COMEDY

[darkcharmer · 10/10 · 6 December 2017]

This is my favorite Turkish comedy movie. Gülse Birsel is a very talented scriptwriter. I have watched Avrupa Yakası TV series which was written by Gülse Birsel.Engin Günaydın was playing at this TV series. It is perfect to see this people at cinema together.I hope to see new movies from this crew.

Average movie

[Orhan_Akdeniz · 7/10 · 20 December 2017]

This film has received good comments everywhere. I do not think so. Overrated. It's an average movie. Acting is good. The screenplay can be estimated.

It is really funny :)

[sibelsancakli-04367 · 10/10 · 19 January 2018]

I like to watch a movie of Gulse Birsel who is one of the biggest scriptwriter in Turkey. She can create the funniest characters which make you laugh so much. This movie is like a part of her most famous TV series - Avrupa Yakasi. The charcters in the movie are so funny, the scenario is good, the actors are really succesful. Do not hesitate to go the nearest cinema and watch this movie.

[oynak-41119 · 6/10 · 25 May 2020]

Nothing i have not seen before. Perfectly normal a poor family and a rich family cliche as always. As i see actors are perfectly fit for the scenario but the scenario is not the price for them. You absoulutly can see many many cliches in the scenario. Events develop so quickly that you can't even imagine. This movie ends in a blink of an eye. Yet the events continued much better than the other many family movies. If you like watching average family movies yes you can watch this movie besides there are no good productions in recent times

Movie of last five years

[pol-atkan · 10/10 · 1 February 2018]

That was the movie of last five years of Turkish cinema. Don't even remember last i have that satisfaction feeling. Great scenario, screenplay, acting and of course director did a great job as well. You probably can't that much from elsewhere but gulse birsel.

It's a great action - adventure comedy with lots of going inside. I love how director skips the parts boring audience with perfect skill. For example there is TS person who released by engin gunaydin at some point but instead take that and give that cheap, usual surprise scene that he learns the fact they just ve skip and use joke much worthier elsewhere.

Second most amazing thing about that movie i am not a crime solving guy but there is lots of mystery awaits till end of the film. And most film i know lots of audience wait that flows, blowing ext. But director did it so nice and soft it gives all the expected but making it so smooth and nice that doesnt break that comedy barrier because that is a comedy movie not a crime-investigation.

Looking back a great movie that not for only Turkish people or people who knows Turkish culture well but everyone likes humor.

Good Crew, Nice Plot

[erdibatmaz · 7/10 · 7 January 2018]

Engin Gunaydin is an amazing actor who gets the movie off the hook. His roleplay might be the only reason to watch the movie. By the way, the movie contains a lot of editing mistakes such as disappeared objects and unrealistic jump-cuts. On the other hand, transexual person is an important point to emphasis.

Harika bir komedi

[ergunbul · 9/10 · 17 April 2020]

Vodvil tadinda , genis kadrolu, bol kosusturmalari,surekli olaylarin cok ince bir senaryo ustaligi ile birbirine baglandigi sicacik bir Turk komedisi. Engin Gunaydin,Demet Evgar harika is cikariyor,yardimci rollerde rol alanlar mukemmel. Eski nostaljik Turk filmleri tadinda ve eminim 20 yil sonra bir klasik olacak.

Average Movie

[cagatayvural · 4/10 · 24 December 2017]

I heard from everybody,the movie is wonderful. Yesterday i went to the cinema,watched it. It is completely overrated. Firsty, Screen was not full, Audio was Stereo only and comes to ears mono. Context was not funny at all. all viewers laugh only at certain time of the movie. That is so sad. I would not recommend.

Good comedy

[hasangulluoglu-63654 · 8/10 · 2 May 2020]

This first gulse birsel's movie. I think so good, funny.

it was perfect for me

[gurhan19 · 10/10 · 9 January 2018]

The writer worked so hard and presented funny movie :)

Amazing

[Caglatureray · 10/10 · 16 February 2019]

I watched it twice and laughed loads. Really entertaining in a smart way, Actors/actresses are the best and super funny!!!

One of the best Turkish movies by far

[flayeep · 10/10 · 8 February 2019]

According to scenario evolves on TV series I didn't expect to see a masterpiece. Was built by Gülse which is made my youth day at high school with Avrupa Yakasi. Demet proved herself again with an extraordinary role in this movie. She's a great talent.

Good job

[dpaydayd · 9/10 · 20 April 2019]

Funniest and most impressive Turkish comedy-drama movie i've ever watched for a long time. Acting is very nice and also scenario is original and so natural. Good job.

Excellent

[refikcanatay · 10/10 · 6 January 2021]

The funniest Turkish movie I've watched. the script is very fluent

One of the best Turkish films ever

[yyavas · 10/10 · 7 March 2022]

I have probably watched it 3-4 times so far and I bet I will watch again. Incredible screenplay, excellent directing and very talented actors. How can anyone not like this. They must have a grudge against the movie. Ignore haters and enjoy the movie. You will not regret it.

My opinion

[Ahmedfadil00 · 10/10 · 25 November 2019]

It did not get me out of the case of boredom and sadness to you .. I love you, Demet

Nice Comedy Film From Gülse Birsel

[baredda17 · 8/10 · 17 June 2019]

Gülse Birsel is doing this job. Significantly high quality among Turkish films. Good acting. Scenario is classic but not bad.

Best comedy film...

[ceylinyni · 10/10 · 6 May 2022]

I have always been a fan of Gülse Birsel and her sense of humor after enjoying her Tv shows so I decided to watch her film too. It was the best comedy movie I have ever seen. In most comedy films, you cannot even laugh until you choke but I watched it at the cinema, and believe it or not we laughed until we lost our breaths. You should watch it. Beyond that, it gives a deep, strong message about what family means despite the stereotypical family films.

Perfect Turkish Comedy

[berkgi · 9/10 · 28 March 2020]

Real Turkish Comedy. Highly recommended. Engin is very talented person who makes us fun. Enjoy watching
