Daryl MacDonald InSession Film Whether he intended it or not, Tepegöz has crafted a Rorschach in which what you get out of it depends on the viewer themselves, and that’s no bad thing. Rated: C+ Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy A slow film for sure , but at 94 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome either. And if you like your science fiction drama dystopian, it is very much worth a watch. Rated: 7/10 Jan 5, 2022 Full Review Hanna Flint The New Arab A great vehicle to showcase Acar's talent, but the journey doesn't quite excite as much as the gritty, aesthetic world director Erdem Tepegoz has realised. Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Films Gone Wild It could as easily be a metaphor for depression as it is the indictment of an economic system. May 13, 2021 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming One part steampunk dystopia, another existential nightmare, In the Shadows is a fascinating concept that doesn't go far enough with its material to make the impact it should. Rated: 3/5 Feb 26, 2021 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue No easy answers are forthcoming here, but exploring what lurks -- or perhaps doesn't -- in the darkness of Tepegöz's In the Shadows will have you gripped. Rated: 4/5 Feb 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
