Yusef's trials feel exquisitely urgent. Go to Full Review

Some of the images Kaplanoglu finds are superb: a forest, a mountainside, a rippling, pulsing moon reflected in a pool of water. It is poetic film-making. Go to Full Review

3/5
The rhythms of the picture are as patient and fluid as other Turkish art films might lead us to expect, but a trickle of anxiety runs through it... Go to Full Review

3/4
A fascinating mix of the studious and the artful, a strange amalgam of left and right brained filmmaking. Go to Full Review
Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 03/21/2016
As I was watching it, I had a bit of time to reflect on the elements that seem to guarantee film festival success... The less the characters talk, the better. Movies about articulate people just don't seem as profound. Go to Full Review

06/14/2020 Beautiful cinematography and, despite the cliches, things seem to work quite well. See more 04/05/2017 There is some beauty of the lives shot, but the film seems ultimately gratuitously sad, playing with our emotions. See more 05/22/2013 Stunning cinematography, beautiful static camerawork, suppressed performances and quiet characters make this a masterpiece. Kaplanoglu is a new auteur and he creates paintings instead of shots. Every location is researched to the last bit and the movie in whole is a wonderful piece of art the likes of which we very seldom find.

See more Alexander W 07/27/2012 Nothing complicated, except the task of understanding life. See more 07/24/2012 I gave it 30% because after I watched it this movie made sure that I went outside to paint my gate, cut the grass, wash the car and feed the chickens......an effort to make up for the fact that I had just spent the most unproductive 1hr and 40 minutes of my life! The script is non existent and most of the movie is taken up by silence or people talking about religion. The scenery and style od direction is supposed to make up for this and form the main focus of the movie, letting the characters physical relationships tell the story???? I think not, there are tons of great movies out there with sweeping landscapes and artistic direction which makes this movie nothing more than one big yawn in comparison, from start to finish. Unless you enjoy bees swarming around a bucket and people glaring at each other, long camera shots of up to 1 minute long of someone sleeping or walking around the house in silence. Quite frankly as long as we are talking about swarming, I have had more fun watching flies swarm around a shapely turd! See more Read all reviews
