About time.....

I found this movie intriguing although the first half moved slowly. The storyline took a turn I didn't see coming, and actually addressed a major problem that plagues not only the LGBT community, it's also a general issue that is rarely focused on in film. I thought the acting was solid, and the ending well thought out. Makes you think......

Excellent allusive film

The title "Not Knowing" is germane. We never actually know if Umut is gay or not just as we don't know the result of the visit to the police station at the end of the film. We are never told if Dad is having an affair with his (ex) secretary or if Mum might have one with her old lawyer friend. The film alludes to its subject matter and themes in way that maintains tension and interest.Some parts of the first half dragged a bit but nowhere near enough for a viewer to lose interest. The second half picked up pace and there was genuine emotion being provoked after Umut's departure.This was a film set amongst cosmopolitan city people - it seems unlikely that some of the ideas and morality prevalent amongst the adults would have been acceptable in rural Anatolia. The teens were just like nasty teens anywhere - they perceived a weakness and pounced on it. Even in the most trendy schoolyards of London "gayboy" is a favoured term of abuse.This film was a real spellbinder - there wasn't a moment where one felt the need to look at the clock. The mark would have been a nine were it not for the few scenes a third of the way through that had seemed a bit slow.

There's just no excuse and it should be a crime
