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.
