影評：
- 雅瑟敏薩穆德里的首部片著眼於土耳其移民和德國種族融合的熱門議題……一部關於東西方差異以及東方碰上西方的迷人喜劇……
- 描述歐洲與移工的困境關係不易以喜劇來表現，但是《歡迎來到德國》做到了，片中描述一個土耳其裔德國家庭的過去和現在，徘徊在兩國之間尋找身份認同。
- 一部暖心懷舊的溫馨喜劇片，免不了催淚的劇情，令人想到描述在英巴基斯坦移民的《East is East》。銀幕日報
- 這部善意的喜劇凸顯了對土耳其和德國文化的相互尊重，帶有一種說教的基調。
- 《歡迎來到德國》觀察入微。有些部分過於感傷，但也相當溫馨，很難不喜歡上這部片！
花絮（IMDB）：
- 本片主要以德語拍攝為了描繪土耳其移工和家人在1960年代來到德國時的感受，倒序場景裡德國人物說的不是真正的德語，而是聽起來像德語的胡言亂語。
- 在火車上也可聽到一位母親用羅馬尼亞語安撫小孩。
Synopsis
After working for 45 years in Germany as a Turkish Gastarbeiter, or guest worker, Hüseyin Yilmaz, now in his 70s, announces to his family that he has bought a house in Turkey and wants everyone to go back with him to renovate it. The family is not enamoured with the idea and a heated debate ensues. Adding fuel to the fire is the revelation of granddaughter Canan that she is pregnant from her English boyfriend, whom the family has no idea about. In order to comfort her six-year-old cousin Cenk, who was bullied on his first day at school for being a “foreigner,” Canan tries to cheer him up by telling him the fantastic story of how and why they all ended up in Germany, even though they aren’t Germans. They undertake a journey back in time to a wondrous place where a small Turkish family discovered a land populated by blond giants who ate pigs, where big rats on leashes were taken on walks, where water was called Coca-Cola, where people worshiped a little wooden figure on a cross, and where everyone spoke “gibberish” – a land called ALMANYA!Stars Vedat Erincin & Fahri Ogun Yardim

Reviews:
- Debut feature from Yasemin Samdereli looks at the hot button issues of Turkish immigration and integration in Germany....Delightful and charming comedy about the differences between East and West - and what can happen, if the two should meet....
- It’s not easy “assimilating” comedy into a depiction of Europe’s troubled relations with its migrant workers. But that’s exactly what ALMAYNA: WELCOME TO GERMANY does with the past and present of one Turkish-German family as they stumble through two countries to ask one question: “Who am I?”
- A warm-hearted, nostalgia-tinged crowd-pleaser and also a manipulative, irresistible tear-jerker, this is the Turkish/German riposte to East is East’s Pakistani immigrants in the UK. - Screen Daily
- Well-meaning comedy highlighting mutual respect for Turkish and German culture strikes a moralising tone..
- “Almanya” is certainly well-observed. If it’s a little cloyingly sentimental, it’s also so good-natured that it’s hard not to like.
Trivia (IMDB):
- The film was shot primarily in German. To give an impression how the Turkish guest workers and their families felt when they came to Germany in the 1960s, the passages spoken by German characters in the flashback scenes are spoken in a German-like gibberish.
- When in the train, a mother calming down her children can be heard speaking in Romanian.
