Copy Paste Script, perfect acting of Demet Evgar

[milka_cherry · 6/10 · 27 March 2006]

Here it is..Another copy paste script by Altioklar. Think about "CSI" sets in Istanbul, lets name it "CSI:Istanbul", add "The Butterfly Effect" and for the sauce add a little bit "Saw". Shake well and serve cold. Beside the logical mistakes, the movie does not answer all the questions which has to answer. Time duration is too long, it was such a big mistake to last the movie 30 minutes more when the audience get who is the killer. Performance of Tamer Karadagli was exaggerated and not original. Just a copy of the character Horatio Caine (CSI:Miami). The only attractive thing in the movie was Demet Evgar's performance. This woman is sparkling!

Finally, this movie could be a TV movie easily but on the theaters...i don't think so...

Turkish delight

[trashgang · 7/10 · 17 August 2009]

Turkey in Gods name. The country known for their famous rip-offs of Hollywood blockbusters. Now and then there is a movie made over their that really smack the Hollywood productions. But the problem is that most of those movies aren't released outside Turkey due the fact that they contain a score with eastern notes or contains story lines which we don't understand because they refer to Allah. This Turkish gem contains both and is unbelievable good especially the performance of Demet Evgar. The way her eyes move and the way she performs as different persons, really good. It never is gory or bloody but for me it's a mix between Seven and The Ring. You will be seated until the end credits. The scene's were they reveal the way bodies are killed is not that gory but nicely edited. in the story line there are some scene's that for Europeans are a bit weird, the reference to Allah and the Koran makes it weird but it gives some extra to it. Also strange for a movie made in Islamic regions is the nudity in this flick. Full frontal T&A. If you would like to catch a copy order it in Turkey or Greece, Turkish cover and language with English subs.

Demet Evgar show

[olcayozfirat · 6/10 · 2 March 2022]

It is the film of the director and actor that I watched with prejudice because I did not like their performances. Despite the movie Tamer Karadagli, it's good. He is in pursuit of artistry and exaggerated acting. On the other hand, among such different personalities, there is no artificial image in the performance of Demet Evgar. Maybe her slightly childish character grins.

The subject of the movie is also interesting. The trauma experienced in childhood leading to personality split and the deaths related to that trauma.

What did they do to that beautiful one Mine Cayiroglu.

Mr. Mustafa Tarantino's miserable failure

[Exiled_Archangel · 1/10 · 6 July 2007]

Altioklar's populist approach manifests itself in all his titles, from the worst to the best. He doesn't care (or has no clue) about art, all he cares is to make people think they've got a kick in the groin by watching his movies. The problem is, the effort is way too evident, and as events unfold with all the senseless exaggeration kneaded into them, the effort fails badly.

On this "Turkish" movie (who knows where the original or originals were made, since it felt extremely Hollywoodish to me), Altioklar is trying to be some sort of Tarantino. (Mr. Tarantino, if you're reading this, please watch the movie for the best comedy of your life!) He doesn't use subtle moves to do that, all he does is to use extreme stuff, and it gets unbearably absurd and laughable.

Levent Üzümcü as the forensic guy with the cow-licked hair is just hilarious. I'm hoping to meet him in person and ask how he felt about this movie himself. Because I really found the role insulting for him. Demet Evgar groping her genitalia was also uncalled for, and did nothing other than making everything look fake. Another specifically idiotic aspect of this movie was the 100% faulty pace setting. When things need to be taken slowly, scenes flow abruptly. And at other times, it makes you sleepy to watch the slow ridicule going on.

If Altioklar is so deeply in love with lame Hollywood superficiality, he should use Michael Sixarrows as his name instead. Even such a move wouldn't be half as ludicrous as what he has done on this movie. He should first learn not to imitate directors whose levels he'll never approach, then realize he's not in Hollywood, and then take private lessons from Zeki Demirkubuz or Reha Erdem on how to lay the flow of ideas out in the plot. This useless movie couldn't be saved even by those, but perhaps he can make watchable movies in the future by taking these steps.

By the way I've seen some infamous failures such as Propaganda and Otostop, and I still can't divert from saying this one was the worst Turkish movie ever.

Beyza's Women: Great Acting of Demet Evgar and Remarkable Soundtrack

[hg-59 · 8/10 · 19 March 2006]

Well, it was a real experience to witness the acting of Ms Demet Evgar who played the role of Beyza (and other female personalities) in the film. It wasn't an easy role however Evgar was quite successful at it.

Soundtrack by Mr Fahir Atakoglu was remarkable as well. On the other hand, the connection between the main musical theme and the final song by Ms Sezen Aksu was not very obvious.

Although the appearance of Mr Tamer Karadagli (as Faith) added a little bit of smile to the faces of the spectators with his amusing way of acting, it may be one of the features that help the spectators to relieve for a minute.

Congratulations for the idea owner and producer Mr Cuneyt Ortan and one of the most successful Turkish directors, Mr Mustafa Altioklar.

cliché too much cliché

[eziz_tm · 4/10 · 5 September 2006]

Persuaded by the 7.0 points in IMDb, which is pretty good, i decided to watch this movie. However, i found this movie quiet boring (about 2 hours) and full of clichés, A little girl getting multiple personalities after a childhood trauma etc. Tamer KAradagli is quiet funny in this movie, dialogs motions etc, you will have to see it, he is kinda the tough cop you see on American movies, perhaps copied too much. I would describe this movie as ordinary American thriller with a little bit of Turkish touch, Unfortunately yet again I'm convinced that comedies and dramas are the only genres worth watching in Turkish cinema Anyways i gave this movie a 4, its too boring and full of clichés

Uncomfortably Strong ...

[kayabay · 9/10 · 27 August 2006]

Another excellent movie from Mustafa Altioklar... "Beyza'nin Kadinlari" is almost a peak at Altioklar movies, and I hope he'll have a chance throughout the world with this one...

Perfectly done psychological thriller emerging an unbelievable star, Demet Evgar who plays a multiple personality case with her soul. A beautiful, innocent, terrifying and disgusting character all merged in a woman with all respects.

Although you can predict what is going on, there's always a thread ready to tear apart.

Great cinematography ( though some intended dark scenes makes you loose some concentration ) with extensive camera & graphical images that strenghten the over all tension.

Like all other Mustafa Altioklar movies, this one's also worked on with every single picture, with every detail and natural awareness...

The story is simple, the characters with all variations are carefully studied in casting. It won't be wrong to tell this one a "Demet Evgar" movie with her theatrical skill but still you think Altioklar is on supervision anyhow. Tamer Karadagli plays a police detective in love with his work, tough and patient. Levent Uzumcu who plays Beyza's husband is in a totally different role than we know he is, also very successfully. All other secondary roles are played with talented artists of the Turkish Cinema, important or not important, with courage and discipline...

Beya'nin Kadinlari will perhaps be an internationally appreciated movie if some PR is done brightly. Because the movie is totally humanistic and can easily take place in any place in the world.

I watched the DVD version on a screen and I advise anyone to watch this one to see how far a developing country cinema go far.

Bravo Mustafa Altioklar & the hundreds of people who has given their heart for this smart and effective project.

Master of the thieves

[erhankarci · 1/10 · 2 September 2006]

Altioklar: Master of the thieves.

Watch some movie, steal some parts of them, write a script... It must be very easy to be a director in Turkey. I think Altioklar watched "Identity (2003)", "Saw (2004)", a few series which is about crime, murder etc. then he said "Eureka, eureka"(i have found it!) after that he wrote the script of the movie.

You can guess the murderer at the beginning of the movie. It took only 10 minutes for me. He shouted "I'm the murderer, i'm the murderer.". There is no mystery.

Tamer Karadagli is same(sux). Exaggerated mimics, funny macho man.

There is only one good thing in the movie. The performance of Demet Evgar is very good. You may see the movie just for that.

A movie that breaks down psychology dimensions

[bora_hamdullahpur · 10/10 · 19 March 2006]

I watched that movie today and I felt the rising power of Turkish movies again. The movie "Beyzanin kadinlari" is a very original movie that I haven't seen such a script before than this. Here the genre was written Action / Adventure / Crime .But it includes Crime / Horror / Mystery / Thriller much more. The movie firstly shows spectator miserable and dreadful events that people experiences , can make people insane and can causes more terrible phenomenons. But later you will see that things will be different. Actually I do not want to mention about the content of the movie because of the surprising script:) Secondly , all the actors and actresses were very successful. Especially I really liked the performance of Levent Üzümcü (Doruk) and Demet Evgar(Beyza). Demet Evgar was fantastic. She deserved all the awards of this universe. What amazing and difficult character she played.Moreover Tamer Karadagli's conversations in the movie are very funny:)

As a result all the people who has no heart attack on this universe must watch this movie. You will see a Very original and intelligent script. Enjoy with that.

It isn't copy paste script

[aytact2 · 10/10 · 11 April 2006]

If we say this movie's script copied by another films, we must say all same type Hollywood films copied by Japan.

I think, this film is one of the best Turkish film in last decade. Because, Turkish cinema don't have enough films like Beyza'nin kadinlari for compare.

so, maybe first experiment for Turkish cinema. Although this, they made perfect job.

Especially Demet Evgar. What a wonderful performance for this young actress in her only 2nd movie. 4 different personality in same character.

Amazing acting from Demet Evgar

[damla-sr · 8/10 · 2 November 2020]

I really liked this movie when I watched in theatre years ago. Now I want to show it to my British husband but I can't find it anywhere. It was an interesting subject touching multiple personality disorder but more importantly, Demet Evgar showed her amazing acting skills. Hope I can find it with English subtitles and show it to my husband.

Best Turkish Film Ever

[murrat-murto · 9/10 · 13 August 2009]

OK I didn't watched all Turkish films but this was the greatest Turkish movie i have ever seen.I just watched the movie and i can still fell its effect on me.

Most of comments says that this movie has similarities from saw.I have watched saw and i cannot see any similarity.

Whatever they say this movie is great.And script writer added psychology very well.Demet Evgar plays his role very well also.

No one can play Tamer Karadaglı's role like he plays.Because that role is definitely made for him.

Please,watch this movie.If you watch this movie without judging i believe, you will love this movie.
