Reviews

vogonify Egg is one of those films which can be called either boring or meditative, depending on which end of the spectrum you are at. The first scene itself should separate these two disparate groups. A woman walks past a murky landscape in towards the camera and then walks out. It is a terribly slow scene. As the film moves forward you get a clearer understanding of that scene and it appears as a very important part of the experience.The story follows a man who returns to his village after his mother dies. He has been so long away that he doesn't know the girl who looked after his mother. He is eager to get away from the village and its many associated memories. He wants to keep his distance, but cannot. This is a very poignant little film. Depending on the sort of viewer it has, it demands varying levels of patience.

split_chick2002 it is of course a bit boring because it is a psychedelic kind of film and it is so contemporary..nowadays these kinda movies are a lot, not in Turkey but in everywhere around Europe.. I hate psychedelic movies and cant even watch but this movie had something and it kept me going. Cinematography was good for an independent film. İt was a very low budget film so I think before making any comment , should consider these kinda points. Shouldn't have a point of view before watching the other 2 movies which complete yumurta ,as a series movies I thing the other ones will be so much more meaningful because this one was about death..the darkest theme the darkest topic. one of the other ones topic is birth so..

ebaser Being a film school graduate sometimes blinds my perception. i try to shut the negative part of my brain. but if the first 10 minutes is empty i start catching the bad. Even though the opening scene was a hint of a bad movie I forced my self to finish Yumurta. the second scene in the bookshop was a mystery. i guess there was a story. but the long shots are so boring you get disconected. i read the synopsis after watching it. Even then the movie didn't make any sense. you cant expect us to understand you story if you don't tell it. It looked like there was no script just minutes of still photos. So, don't waste your time with this one. Don't let the awards trick you. This is part of a trilogy. the next one is Sut (Milk). i haven't seen it yet but i heard it tops this one.

Ozan Uen I watched the movie a couple days ago with my family. After seeing several good Turkish movies I really expected something good, but this movie was a huge disappointment. The movie starts with a woman walking till the woman is out of sight. This scene takes almost 3 minutes and you already start to get bored. The whole movie is like this one scene. No story, no highlights, no hidden messages, no meaning. I watched the movie till the end, because I always watch movies till the end and I hoped that something is going to happen, but nothing came... I can't believe why this movie is got so many awards. Don't waste your time with this movie. I wish I had played scrabble with my family that evening. At least I would have the chance to learn one or two more words....
