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

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.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
All in all, this is a carefully modulated plea for tolerance and mutual understanding.
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.
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.
