Two powerful actors Haluk Bilginer and Demet Akbag are spoiled in this so-called comedy. The film does not fit to any genre but just can be defined as nonsense.

As an actor and actress Haluk Bilginer and Demet Akbag are the pioneer stars of their genres in Turkey. Ezel Akay unfortunately legated their worst job at the same time both of them. I sensed that he couldn't tie the script up as an all. All the crew in movie probably trusted him. It was a a shame for filmographic past who has a past like Ezel.

This movie was shoot for theaters but with saloon bans during pandemic copyright acquisition happened by Netflix. Sorry for Ezel Akay because this one is his worst movie without hesitation. Demet Akbag and Haluk Bilginer put a big effort to save the spinning scenario but the conclusion is unsatisfactory. Post Production and Visual Effects are failing as a undeniable fact. Watch only if you have free time and you can skip the songs' scenes where you would be disappointed as well.

I don't consider myself a pro on Turkish cinema although I've seen many. However this was by far the worst thing I've ever watched in my entire life (I am 50 by the way) Neither acting nor casting has least to say. Hence, it was "eye-burning!" I'd strongly recommend to turn the source off if you coincide with it.

This movie is a failed attempt to create a warm and entertaining atmosphere with many shades of orange. The way the scenes follow one another makes you feel exhausted by the time the movie ends. I would gladly watch a two-hour movie in which Haluk Bilginer and Demet Akbag would just sit and talk across a table with a Galata view on the background. Any point for the conversation would do because both of them are so talented and experienced that only recording them with a smart phone camera (even recording vertically) while they are chatting would do fine for most viewers.
