Frank J. Avella The Contending Edge of Night is most absorbing in the late scenes between the two brothers as they try and figure out who they are and what they want to be. Rated: B- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International The family drama is fascinating, especially because Süer, who also wrote the screenplay, deftly uses often minimalistic dialogue to explore the crevices and contradictions of the men’s opposing viewpoints.
