Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Yusef's trials feel exquisitely urgent. Rated: 4/5 Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 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. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 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... Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row A fascinating mix of the studious and the artful, a strange amalgam of left and right brained filmmaking. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 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. Mar 21, 2016 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman It all feels a little generic. Rated: 2/5 Jul 18, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Beautiful cinematography and, despite the cliches, things seem to work quite well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Serge L Very very beautiful area, beautiful boy, mother and father. A slice of life in the mountain. Very psychological. Well thought. The only issue I have is that the father, obviously rather smart, can't think of a safer way to climb to hives. So it seems obviously not true. The beauty of the film can't be ignored though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/17 Full Review Audience Member There is some beauty of the lives shot, but the film seems ultimately gratuitously sad, playing with our emotions. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
