A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Fleur
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

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.

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....

Yusuf was selling old books in a city. He learned that his mother living in a small town was dead and he returned to his hometown to join the funeral. After the funeral he was planning to return city but with unexpected events, he stayed in the village 2 days more.Scenorio is boring and suffering from lack of communications. Cinematography (composition-light-sountrack) is not successful. I watched the film till end, for the sake of my movie love.I couldn't realize the reasons that juries gave the national and international awards to this film.In summary there very successful films from Turkey, gaining awards all over the world and are really joyful.
