Men on the Bridge is the story of three men working at the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul and their intersecting lives. A struggling youth, a taxi driver, and a police officer show their different life perspectives in Istanbul and how this bridge that connects Europe to Asia affects each of their lives.

Despite one or two nice moments and the naturalistic tone, it's all a bit of a slog.

Total Film by Carmen Gray

Showing a keen, compassionate eye for human observation, Özge reveals how each of his character's lives is as gridlocked as the cars on the bridge.

Time Out by David Fear

The result is a fascinating, if somewhat scattered, meta attempt to straddle modernism and realism, creating an aesthetic purgatory oddly similar to the film's geographical one.
