    One of the most impressive films

    There is a belief in our country like that: Sad and Happiness are two brothers. During its plot, the film shows this reality accurately.

    Three women and their impressive story. From Hakkari to Antalya.

    The film was inspired true stories. It was about Yilmaz Erdogan's aunts and His grandpa. So, I guess, you should watch it

    Classy!

    I've enjoyed every minute of this beautiful movie. If you want to enjoy great acting, not trivial plot, this is for you. The film is humane, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, just like life itself.

    Can't watch it without crying

    Yilmaz Erdogan such a great actor. I loved this movie a lot. Amazing work and amazing soundtrack. Adorable!

    Apples are like Life

    The metaphors used throughout the movie were striking and true. Some apples are sour- like life- can bring pleasure though also difficult. And some apples are sweet-but may get that way when "tamed" or grafted.

    Cinematographically amazing, this showed the beauty of the country side, and the colorful clothing of a time long gone. It was just stunning to watch.

    The storyline was interesting-both the historical accounts and the beautiful stories of love as well.

    The acting was simple and clear. Not over acted nor silly. Sukru Ozyildiz was adorable, as usual, by the way.

    I was pleasantly surprised at this lovely and moving production and would surely recommend.
