Rebecca Nicholson Financial Times Feb 18
3/5
It appears to be in search of a much-needed satirical bite; there are occasional glimpses, but in the end, it struggles to find its teeth. Go to Full Review

1/4
Worst of all, the melodrama appears to empathize with, if not fully rationalize, the actions of the world’s most self-absorbed nincompoop. Go to Full Review
Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies Feb 21
The show almost arrives at the dissonance between the world inside Kemal’s mind and the reality, but it somewhat ruins it by portraying Kemal as a heroic lover. If it was meant to be completely satirical, then the idea isn’t translated well on-screen. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Feb 14
As nicely shot and acted as Museum Of Innocence is, the story isn’t fleshed out enough to give us a real idea of what drew its main characters together, besides it just being a taboo pairing. Go to Full Review

Fanny V @RT99235206 Apr 29 A beautifully crafted series where emotions speak louder than words. It draws you in effortlessly, making you feel every moment with a quiet, immersive intensity. See more Cem Okan Y @cmyldz23 Apr 29 Made me want to reread the book again but somehow I feel like this series was overdramatic compared to the book. See more Wendy D @RT17011193 Apr 23 I actually enjoyed the film, especially the ongoing long shots of the two main characters because they were nice to look at. If it was a Turkish period piece I guess it would make more sense but I don’t think it’s meant to be a Turkish period piece. Culturally it did show the overinvolvement of the parents, especially the mother with the son which kept him such a child but he was also kind of dumb by ignoring his father‘s experience and advice, which he didn’t seem to get all. I was interested in his definition of love at the end, which was " deep consideration and tenderness" which pretty much explains his total failure as a lover or husband. Maybe that’s Panuk’s definition of love, but I find it very immature and incomplete; I would add honesty which he was totally devoid of and also I would add selflessness which he had no understanding of either. He was such an idiot and it was such a tragedy, but it was beautifully done. See more Jakelin S. @RT34551571 Mar 25 I loved it. I hated them both at some point… See more Audrone K @Audra0 Mar 9 This is proof that a movie can be better than a book. It's a work of art. See more Julia G @Jceleste Feb 28 Nothing innocent about either of the main characters. Their relationship was far from innocent; he would have been happy to keep a side piece if he could have gotten away with it, and the innocent girl was trying to climb the social ladder with her charms. Way too much smoking and drinking and a bit drawn out but still enjoyed it. See more Read all reviews
