One of the best Turkish movies done in the recent years... Very real dialogs, very sincere characters and most of all good performances of all actors. It can easily create a very intimate relationship with the audience and can catch you from the first moment. The characters and casting is very successful and the love story throughout the movie does not pile on the agony but will affect you truly and deeply. Especially the performances of supporting actress Serra Yılmaz(Mete's mother)and supporting actor Rıza Kocaoglu (Murat)are worth watching. The soundtrack of the movie is also very successful containing a large variety of different styles and reflecting a pleasant taste. In summary,it deserves its place as a cult movie in modern Turkish cinematography.

Irmak, tries to demonstrate a modern love (probably well-known) story intensely based on a specific area in İstanbul, which is heavily focused on the dramatic final scene and wholly torn between. As well as being stuck between Turkish traditional (Yesilcam movies)and European&American movie perceptions, the dialogs of Alper and Ada (main characters) are also stuck between being superficial and literal. Maybe,the best way of the movie is especially and successfully chosen (far from reflecting the common) places and music of the movie which appeal mainly to the Turkish audience. Though it is far from being a masterpiece in Turkish movie history with its familiar story, it could be considered as a footstep in the transforming Turkish cinema at least technically.
