Stuck Apart (2021)
7/10
I do not speak Turkish but watched with native Turkish people and many jokes and meanings did not translate
9 January 2022
As the heading says and also another review on here, perhaps why so many of us have found the film a bit clunky and had some of the metaphors go over out head is because many jokes and subtleties didn't translate.

For example, my Native Turkish husband loved the bear boy's character and could not stop laughing, he said that the boy was speaking extremely eloquently to the point where he was using words that aren't even commonly used now, whereas the translation on the screen didn't reflect this at all.

Despite being an odd film I found great moments in it, perhaps it is a film to remind us not to get stuck on things which take so much of our time and energy, an example being the girlfriend who was fixated on why her boyfriend took off the necklace that was a symbol of their relationship.

All in all a good cast and some funny moments.
