	Head-On Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		There's Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), a gorgeous young woman from a Hamburg suburb, who struggles against her ultra-conservative parents, who want her married to a fellow Turk—she feels more like living her life to the fullest than playing the part of devout Muslim housewife.
		Sibel proposes that the two unite in a marriage of convenience; Cahit at first declines, but eventually agrees to play along, in order to free her from her family's chokingly tight control.
		Both Kekilli, whose body of work in the past was limited to adult films, and Unel give powerful performances as two self-destructive individuals who find each other and spark the flame of a relationship, albeit an unstable one, from the ashes of their lives.

		Sibel, who's thoroughly Westernized, is willing to marry Cahit in order to escape her strict fundamentalist family-not that she wants to be a housewife.
		Newcomer Sibel Kekilli is Sibel, and she throws herself into the grueling role with a scary abandon.
		Meanwhile, Sibel's story that her brother broke her nose when he caught her holding hands with a boy tells you everything you need to know about her discomfort with a woman's role in her strict Turkish family.

	Head-On
		Sibel (Sibel Kekilli) is a suicidal woman half his age, stuck at home with repressive relatives.
		Sibel is so desperate to get out from under her oppressive, tradition-bound family that she pleads with Cahit - whom she barely knows and who is nearly twenty years her senior - to enter into a sham marriage with her.
		Yet, for all their problems together, we do sense that Sibel really does bring meaning to Cahit`s existence (as he claims), and that he may well serve the same function for her, as what starts out as a relationship of convenience turns into so much more.

	Gegen die Wand
		Sibel is a German, but her family still clings to many Turkish traditions.
		Sibel’s cousin is a Turk, but a decidedly modern woman, supporting herself, divorced and with no desire to remarry.
		Sibel’s family thinks that Cahit is a bit long in the tooth for Sibel, but he is Turkish which overrides everything else including the fact that his job is picking up empty bottles after hours at a local nightclub.

		Sibel is in the clinic for slashing her wrists, but meeting Cahit suggests a much better way to escape her suffocatingly traditional Turkish family: She'll marry and move in with Cahit, regardless of his feelings on the matter.
		He relents after Sibel stages yet another suicide attempt — this time in a crowded cafe — and after muddling his way through the lavish Turkish wedding and making room in his filthy flat, Cahit finds that he not only likes having Sibel around but is falling in love with her.
		Sibel, however, won't consummate their marriage and insists on catting around with strangers she meets in bars, which soon leads to an unexpected explosion of violence.

		Kekilli is one of the few people who seems to have every right to make such strong comments.
		They are all just people, and you have to show courage when you're fighting.'' Kekilli said, but adds she did weep when watching the scene in the film where the father burns the photos of his daughter at the sink.
		Kekilli is currently considering a leading role in a film about anti-Semitism, where she is likely to play another strong heroine.

	erasing clouds film review: head-on
		Young, beautiful and Turkish-German like Cahit, Sibel is in the clinic because she tried to kill herself to escape her life with her traditional and conservative family.
		At the beginning, Cahit and Sibel live like flatmates to a soundtrack of 1980s music (Depeche Mode among the others) interspersed with Turkish songs, surrounded by punk images (the door of Cahit's flat is adorned with a poster of Siouxsie And The Banshees).
		Sibel often picks up the men she fancies in the various clubs she visits, while Cahit has occasional one night stands with his sometimes girlfriend Maren (Catrin Striebeck).

	From Bare to Bear for Ex-Porn Queen \| Culture & Lifestyle \| Deutsche Welle \| 18.02.2004
		Days after being celebrated at the Berlinale for her role in the award-winning film "Head-On", 23-year-old Sibel Kekilli is at the center of a sex scandal after a tabloid published sleazy details of a pornographic past.
		Germany's mass-selling Bild announced this week that 23-year-old Sibel Kekilli -- who received rave reviews for her role as a Hamburg nurse in the film Head-On that won the coveted Golden Bear in an unexpected triumph for Germany -- had starred in a string of porno films before her illustrious Berlinale debut.
		Kekilli, a virtual unknown until Head-On grabbed attention at the Berlinale (she was allegedly spotted by Akin on the street and cast right away) told DW-WORLD last week that she was familiar with the situation in the film.

		Sibel and Cahit meet in the unlikely setting of a mental institution, where they both end up after unsuccessful attempts at suicide.
		After her failed episode, Sibel decides that marriage to a Turk is the only thing that can save her from the prison of her devout, conservative family.
		For Sibel, a young Turkish girl who wants to escape the confines of traditional family values, the solution is a faked marriage with Cahit, an older, totally estranged Turkish man, a long time resident of Berlin, a bachelor, a bohemian and a perfect cynic.

		For Sibel, the return to a homeland she barely remembers is a stygian descent; for Cahit, twice her age and significantly more removed, it's practically an introduction.
		Akin reduces Sibel's family to a caricature, with her stern father and brawny brother on one side and her emotionally overwrought but powerless mother on the other.
		Cahit confronts Sibel's cousin, who is hiding her location from him, and stumbling for the words to express his feelings of loss, he abandons his pidgin Turkish for English.

	OnMilwaukee.com Music: A top-notch film, "Head On" confronts troubled characters
		Sibel, who has attempted suicide, lives with her restrictive parents, who will allow her to marry only a Turk.
		Neither Sibel nor Cahit is capable of coping on a daily basis and their ups and downs (read: mostly downs) are astonishing and so regular and so damaging that it's miraculous that they can survive.
		Kekilli and Unel are absolutely masterful in playing these almost over-the-top losers and minutes after meeting them on screen we're stricken by them and their tortured souls; their capacity for highs and the strength -- despite the suicide attempts -- that gets them through the lows.

		Sibel returns to her partying, promiscuous ways, and Cahit stews quietly, falling in love with Sibel but unwilling to admit it.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Head-On
		The film's premise is fueled by a head-scratching exchange between the film's suicidal German Turks: Though a total stranger to her, Sibel (Sibel Kekilli) asks Cahit (Birol Ünel) to marry her in order to move out of her conservative family's home.
		Once Sibel moves in with Cahit, it's only a matter of time before they consummate their fake marriage.
		This union is ostensibly meant to purge their respective demons (he lost his first wife, she's a drug addict), but it's amazing how little director Fatih Akin has to say about the couple's difficult pasts or German-Turk relations in general by way of their complicated romance.

		Sibel begs Cahit to marry her and he reluctantly agrees, perhaps in an effort to save her and to find meaning in his own life.
		Gradually, however, Cahit begins to fall in love with Sibel and she, in turn, comes to realize that she loves him—but not before an incident of jealous violence tests this fledgling romance.

		At first in the helping hands of her middle-class sister (a hotel manager), Sibel again (the actress Kekilli is a former porn-star and plays it well) carries on her run-away-identity: back to the entertaining whiskey-bar harbor-area of Istanbul - not an inch better than the German Hamburg Reeperbahn-scene: drugs, sex, self-suicidal violence.
		As the film started to pick up awards at international film festivals, leading actress Sibel Kekilli was "outed" by the German tabloid press for being a former porn star.

	Head-On (Gegen Die Wand) - Movie Review
		In Fatih Akin's earlier film, "In July," the German-born writer-director took an old-fashioned road movie romance (a variation on "It Happened One Night") and gave it a craggy, sun-baked sweetness.
		They're both of Turkish descent, and Sibel figures that she can use this man, who picks up empty bottles for a living, to get away from her overbearing, traditional family.
		It helps that both actors burst with presence; Unel appeared previously in "In July," but Kekilli makes her debut here with astonishing force.

		Even the cousin of Sibel's could be a cousin of mine.
