Private Lesson is a Rom-Com movie directed by Kivanç Baruönü, starring Bensu Soral and Halit Özgür San.

Premise

Posing as a private tutor, Azra secretly coaches students on achieving their goals in life and love – but not without a bumps on the road.

Movie Review

A quirky and formulaic Rom-Com that is as plastic as can be. The impeccable scenography, sterile photography, beautiful cast, and a screenplay that will not risk too much, and yet manages to amuse, are the ingredients in this, a more lighthearted film.

If you are seeking a really edgy romantic comedy, this is not it. ‘Private Lesson’ is nice and quotidian in all its artificial perfection.

With a good cast that successfully walks the tightrope between super insipid yet convincing acting, in a set that is staged to portray the delightful lives of its characters, we are told this slightly entertaining tale. It is contemporary, which will undoubtedly draw the attention of the audience, and as a story, despite being somewhat inane, it is spiffy enough to keep its spectators amused and entertained.

The development of the story is predictable, and parallels to other teen movies can be drawn – the underdog being saved by the queen of the prom, or fairy godmother scenario.

So, fans of more up-to-date telenovelas, this might just make your day! Enjoy!
