Not many directors take notice but trains are good locations to shoot films, for one thing because they are slow. This slowness and the passing scenery adds to the emotions of the characters. I mean even if you miss the train you can hop on a taxi and catch it at the next station. Leyla and Ali are not in a rush as they are on their way to the same wedding and this journey becomes an opportunity for them to face their past.
Decent acting from both actors and a good script and direction that keeps the audience in the film until the end. I am not sure if it was the intention of the filmmakers that the journey starts in Turkey's gloomy capital and ends in sunny bright coastal city of Izmir. And there is hope in Izmir! Beautiful ending!
