GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Armand Strange. Beautiful. Ambiguous. Piece of Oriental world in which events are just crumbs from fairy tales. A doctor. Few children. Lights, shadows and a mysterious book. Death as messenger. And trip to happiness. Action may be in Albania, Bosnia , Georgia or Dobruja. Each of them can be perfect space for that subject, mixture of blood and evening, human sins and desire of revenge. The old man is everywhere. As keeper of memories. Like master of precise pictures of past. As another Pied Piper for who not children or rats are pray but the empty soul of adults. Religion and chains of myths. Shadow of Angel of Death and his cold justice act. Search of lost son and refuge for victims. Exploration of tales soul who is only seed of reality. And new way from Gomorha.

10laRDan1i This film definitely has its own way of telling a story. While watching, it gives you the feeling of listening to a fairy tale, which I haven't felt for many years. I must admit that the film has religious implications, because of the story in the background, but they are not necessarily negative criticisms. By choosing children as the main audience in the "messiah story", this film separates itself from any other religious-story-telling films or books. The costumes, acting and conversations all have that fairy tale style as a whole. I see "hope" as the main theme of this film as "even an unrealistic hope can change people's lives". Please don't watch and judge this movie with your or others belief-defending opinions. It just shows the power of imagination. Also it is a good and a different step for Turkish cinema.

Dabaday dabaday I am pretty sure Chagan Irmak was aware of the fact that the movie is completely different than what people was expecting. He is brave enough to discuss the issues like freedom of speech, military coups in his movies explicitly. But this time, he was indirect and he makes people to think. In most of the Turkish movies, it is a tradition to give the message in a direct way. But this makes Ulak special .. Irmak breaks those traditions. The photography, costumes are were great. Throughout the movie, I tried where/when the story takes place. What is their religion? I liked that disturbance in my mind. which make me to think and I enjoyed my mind trip!

kaan Another masterpiece from the one of most intellectual and creative directors of Turkey. Story is also by Irmak. 1- The incredible soundtracks that takes you away is by E.Reboutsika who won the World Soundtrack Award in 2006 by another Irmak movie "Babam ve Oglum" (My Father and My Son) 2- Cetin Tekindor presents one of the best actings I've ever seen. He paralyses the audience. Especially, the scene he begins to cry when he finishes his story and the children are talking about the Messenger they dream of.. 3- Story is very allegoric. No time and no place. And the presentation of this story is very original, since there are parts like "Dream of Ferhat", "Reality of Zekeriya", "Book of Mehmet" 4- Although lots of messages are given, the most emphasized is "The one who knows but keeps silence is as much guilty as the one who commits." In fact it seems to refer to the Military Regime started in 1980 and to the society that did not want to talk about it for years. Not only that, but also every society that stay silent against the evil kind. 5- The end is much more original. Story ends with "Dream of Saffet", which means it is your turn to dream about the end.
