İzlediğim en güzel belgesellerden biriydi. Bir saat boyunca sadece kedileri izlemek ve insanların onlar hakkında konuşması huzur vericiydi. Kediler, bu hayattaki renkler gibi; onlar olmasaydı bence hayat siyah-beyaz olurdu.

It was one of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched. Spending an hour just watching cats and listening to people talk about them was truly soothing. Cats are like the colors of life—without them, I believe life would be black and white.

“You can't be happy at the expense of other's unhappiness.”

A film that avoids a direct narrative or a clear message. It leaves the viewer in uncertainty, encouraging them to interpret it in their own way. If you enjoy philosophical, slow-paced films, you should definitely watch this one—but be warned, you might find yourself left with many unanswered questions afterward.

I don’t know why, but I went into this film with low expectations. For some reason, I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be good, but it turned out differently than I expected. For a horror movie, it was actually quite good (I’m sorry to those who love horror films, but I’m not a fan, ahaha). There were even moments that made me laugh. I think it’s a movie worth giving a chance—mainly because Theo James is in it. I have nothing else to add. Thank you for reading this far!

“ I don't know. That I was sorry. That I will never know what it was like to be her. But I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. You hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.”

The authenticity of the characters and their emotional depth really pulled me into the story, and the film’s lingering melancholic atmosphere along with its critique of the system left a lasting impact on me.

This movie made me question my English (as it’s my second language). There were scenes where it was genuinely difficult to understand what was being said—especially when Count Orlok was speaking.
