VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
BILLYBOY-10 Very good script, acting, direction, production values by all. The ending confused me but Bram did introduce Kevin as his boyfriend and they will be together again but now Bram has to be with his family so pretty much all's well that ends well. I really liked this movie.
msah83 Gay-theme movies have this tendency: sad ending!But this one, it has so many interpretations and I have come but one of my own. When Bram introduced Kevin as his boyfriend to his parents and despite being shrugged and coldness of his father, the mother has been kind and truth-accepting and she looks more welcoming. Kevin walks away and gave a smile, an "it is now alright and come to me soon" kind of a smile - I can but feel content and happy for them.Excellent movies and Kevin is very good as well. Good looking and really showing an interest into Bram - you can see how he looks at him! It is just perfect.It is good and moving too, swaying us around the Turkish culture and confronting the very situation in Europe - the immigration but they themselves are having internal problem too. It may be a film, but some of that can be factual too. Except for Osama bin Laden photo, I don't think terrorist would be stupid enough to plaster a photo and implicate himself with open ideology for a quick label.Gay movies do not need to have actors naked around the house, or too much of sexual scenes, or that they kisses and make love all the time. And Mixed Kebab just proved that, a good one indeed!
Armand smart, beautiful, touching film. not only for story itself but for inspired manner to use different cultural pieces for a precise puzzle. humor, cultural impact, the family relationship, the identity of a foreign community and its circles. and , sure, the love story. after many homosexual movies, its basic virtue is its special freshness. not a lesson, not a speech about sexual minority rights. only a correct exercise about choice and tradition. and about the impact between worlds. last scene is splendid. and the Turkish bath scenes - full of delicate poetry. amusing, bitter, realistic. a good film. and little more.
cagreer805 I saw this movie at Cinequest Film Festival and was blown away by its cinematic beauty and topical storyline. The Muslim angle was fascinating as was the setting for part of the movie: Turkey, Muslim yet Western. The all-too-familiar family conflicts could be taking place in the U.S. for all of the similarities. I liked how petty criminal brother Furkan is pretty much a little punk, converts to fundamentalism (white pajamas and all), and is still a punk. (Some things never change.) The best part of the movie by far was its star, Cem Akkanat as the conflicted main character Ibrahim. He is handsome, expressive yet understated - a natural! I hope to see more of him in future films.
