Three young girls are taken from a poor village in central Anatolia and given to affluent foster families.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

[T]his ultimately uninteresting drama is undermined by characters of little discernible intelligence whose plight will leave many viewers apathetic, partly due to the way dialogue seems to be artificially recited rather than naturally delivered.

The Hollywood Reporter

Emin Alper's A Tale of Three Sisters is a unique work that deftly blends Chekhov and the Brothers Grimm.

Middle East Eye

Devoid of social or political contexts or parallels, this strangely uninvolving, inert film ultimately fails to stand on its own storytelling strengths.

Perhaps [the film's] greatest virtue is its combining joy and tragedy with agility. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

Asian Movie Pulse

Has some faults, particularly regarding the script an an occasionally hyperbolic theatricality, but it is also quite entertaining and a film that will definitely resonate with people who have some experience with living in a village.

Cultured Vultures

...by filling the film with life and humour, Alper finds the hope without the need for sentimentality.
