    The name Ezel Akay (Ezop), takes place on the top lines of creative cinema lists thanks to his muchly peculiar cinematic langue. Most of his movies have been treated as examples of golden works in Turkey Cinema by many authorities.

    But unfortunately this last movie is too far off meeting any audience expectation based on Ezel Akay cinematography.

    Although the movie evokes the cinematic grammar of "Neredesin Firuze" (one of Akay's previous successfull works) it fails to catch an adequate dynamic mood which Neredesin Firuze significantly staged and 9 Kere Leyla tries to perform.

    -. Inadequate links between mythological significations and political discourse and

    -. Failing repetitive jokes which dominate and vanish sub-contents

    could be counted as main major problems.

    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.

    Warning: Spoilers
    I never laughed even though I forced myself over and over. Uncle's fall scene and songs are annoying. It was the most ridiculousTurkish movie I've watched in my life

    Ben boyle rezil bir senaryo gormedim. Haluk BILGINER disinda tam bir vakit kaybi. Turk yapimlari adina da bir utanc kaynagi.

    I have never seen such an outrageous script. Except for Haluk BILGINER, it's a complete waste of time. It is also a source of shame for Turkish productions.

    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.

    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.

    I hadn't had an idea about the people's thoughts and comments on the movie until I finished watching it. When I saw the low rates, I got surprised. What do people expect from an absurd comedy? I liked the acting, the characters, mythological elements. It was good for me to escape from the reality.

    It is a film which had been lynched in turkish way. It is watched even only performers. When u watch it, you will see that it has been wronged by turkish users.

    We are faced with the worst movie in Turkish cinema history. I can't imagine how a magnificent actress like Demet Akbag was persuaded to take part in such a bad production.

    I held my expectations high when I saw the cast, but so very disappointed. No plot, no comedy, no quality just exaggerated characters just as you would see in a cheap TV series. Not recommended and very disappointed for Haluk Bilginer after a masterpiece such as Persona.

    The auction scene in the start summarizes the purpose of this film: "to create a budget for a remarkable cinema. " This can only be the explanation wasting our time...

    I enjoyed the movie. Acting was great! I loved the atmosphere and the world that was created for the movie using paintings, art objects, vibrant-feminine colors...etc. Usually I don't like direct, didactic messages in the movies. This movie has some through the end which may be unnecessary... The music and singing was not great. But, overall it's a fair movie that deserves attention!

    I tried to tolerate and finish it but every 10 minutes it is repeating itself. So I quit at the middle

    No fun, musical like scenes are so bad at some point you suprised how bad they were.

    I come here to warn people not to waste time.

    It's not as bad as they made it to be. Movie has its' unique style of telling it. It was good nevertheless. I can see how Turkish people might have missed the deeper meanings, the fun in the way the story was told etc... Just keepin it short. I think it's worth watching plus it's at least 7/10. The story is good too. Makes you think and also gives out some strong messages throughout which are especially should be given at this point in Turkey.

    It was a movie that tried to be extraordinary. We watched it without getting bored and had fun, but still it doesn't appeal to everyone A better movie could come out of this cast.

    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.

    Acting, music, colours, songs, message and story telling are first class however the story itself is so poor.
