Private Lesson

A fun light-hearted romantic comedy movie from Turkey. It's not to be taken too seriously. The acting is not brilliant, but it's not bad either. The storyline is cute about a beautiful girl named Azra ( Bensu Soral from Icerde) who takes up private lessons with girls who wish to improve themselves and win the hearts of men. She helps a helpless but pretty girl get the man of her dreams, while falling in love in the process with her handsome neighbour named Burak. I recommend anyone to watch it. It truly is one to watch. I'm not one for rom-coms but this Turkish gems is one to watch no doubt about it.

This was a light romantic comedy starring the lovely Bensu Soral (who I loved in Icerde and was overly upset about what happened to her character!). She plays Azra, who is a paid "fixer" for young teenage girls. She steps in and pretends to be their tutor or calls the school as their parents...whatever they need in order to pursue dreams like becoming dancers or models, or whatever else their parents aren't or can't support. The awkward niece of the school principal (Hande) over hears that she pretended to be another student's parent and blackmails Azra into helping her get the attention of a boy named Umut. Meanwhile, Azra meets her new neighbor Burak...and seems to be doing the opposite of what she advises Hande to do. The romance ends up being very sweet between Hande and Azra who both have to overcome preconceptions about the other. It wasn't the greatest romantic comedy I have ever seen but it was cute and more aimed at a younger audience.

The film was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The acting was downright cheesy, with the actors delivering their lines with all the sincerity of a cardboard cutout. The plot was nonsensical and the scenes were completely illogical, as if they were pieced together by a toddler with a glue stick. The actors in this film were some of the worst I've ever seen. Their performances were wooden and unconvincing, and it was clear that they were struggling to deliver even the most basic lines. The dialogue was equally as bad, filled with cliches and overused phrases that had me rolling my eyes. Furthermore, the plot of the film was completely illogical and felt like it was pieced together with little thought or care. The scenes were disjointed and often made no sense in the context of the overall story. It was as if the filmmakers were trying to string together a bunch of unrelated ideas in the hope that it would somehow add up to a cohesive narrative. I wouldn't recommend this film to my worst enemy. Avoid it at all costs.
