Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: If you count yourself among anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: It's in Turkish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
