Richard Brody The New Yorker Under the guise of the universal theme of love and its mysteries, Ceylan offers a glimpse of harsh and unresolved local particulars. Nov 3, 2014 Full Review Hap Erstein Atlanta Journal-Constitution There is an undeniable beauty to some of [director] Ceylan's imagery, but as drama goes, this film is simply too inert for general audience tastes. Rated: C May 12, 2007 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press As much as I respect Climates, I can sympathize with viewers who will balk at the film's pretensions and glacial pacing. Rated: 3/4 Mar 23, 2007 Full Review PJ Nabarro One Room With A View With Climates, especially its masterful opening, is there a more truthful depiction of the irritations and acts of distancing that herald the early stages of a break-up? Rated: 4/5 Dec 2, 2018 Full Review Dan Jardine Cinemania I will not soon forget Ceylan's cinematic haikus Rated: 85/100 Jan 14, 2010 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Sizzles when it explores the fragile nature of relationships and the difficulty of connecting with the opposite sex. Rated: A Oct 2, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
