Stuck Apart

"Stuck Apart" (Azizler, 2021) — watch online on iFILM, a Turkish drama-comedy directed by brothers Yağmur and Durul Taylan. Aziz is in his forties. On the outside: a job, a circle of friends, a noisy family. He works hard at making it all look fine.

Inside, it is quietly falling apart. Engin Günaydın plays him with dry, controlled precision; Haluk Bilginer and Bergüzar Korel fill in the world around him. The Taylans never let Aziz off the hook but never hold him up for ridicule either — the film earns its comedy the honest way, by actually looking at who this man is.
