Todays Zaman reviewer M. Nedim Hazar states that the film contains, the EastWest contradiction and a comparison of values. It brings the dominating force of the West the mind and that of the East the heart face to face, but doesnt take a folkloric approach to the EastWest comparison as in Ylmaz Erdoans movies. Apart from this, it still falls into the marshland of exaggerated caricatureization which seems to have worked into the veins of the celebrities who star in the film. Moviegoers might be fond of this, but it is still an important setback for a movie. He concludes it is a film, that will shock in a positive sense those whose expectations for the film are very low because of Krmzgl. Its also a movie that is very presentable, whose language and message is very clear. In addition, it contains as much laughter and tears as any Yeilam movie does. It should be watched and applauded as a first film of a firsttime director..
