Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Between the blurring brass score and the fist-pumping techno tracks, which crescendo into an explosive ending that appears to rebalance Ahmet’s world, the revolution in “DJ Ahmet” is thumping. Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) Delightful and beguilingly sharp, “DJ Ahmet” is a reminder that if there are no new stories, there are new ways of telling them. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar Variety With every perfectly timed joke, including those involving Ahmet’s missing sheep, one’s admiration for Unkovski’s artistic vision grows given the tonal feat he accomplishes. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While its location might feel inherently unique, the happenings in Georgi M. Unkovski’s narrative debut DJ Ahmet sing a familiar tune. Rated: 2/5 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Daniel Eagan ScreenAnarchy An auspicious debut: both wildly exotic and completely down to earth, tied to a specific culture yet dealing with universally recognizable problems. Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Jon Negroni InBetweenDrafts It’s a tale as old as time: boy meets beats, beats meet resistance, and life turns into a remix of rebellion. Rated: 7.5/10 Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
