A Nobel winning author from Turkey opens a museum in Istanbul, filled with objects from a fictitious, doomed love story.

Catherine Bray

Variety

Depth is perhaps the stumbling point for "Innocence of Memories." Its ideas are plentiful, but their treatment at times seems to skim the surface.

With this essay/documentary hybrid form, Gee has struck gold.

Times (UK)

Part travelogue, part dream poem, part documentary, Innocence of Memories is certainly one of the most original movies you'll see this year.

Rated: 3/5

Matthew Anderson

CineVue

Part alternative travelogue, part meditation on love and loss, it explores the nature of a great city as a living, breathing entity and how memory is inextricably linked to time and place.

Rated: 4/5

Total Film

The result veers closer to arty film noir than reportage: a stylised love letter to the city, memory and objects, charged with fading but potent feeling.

Rated: 4/5

The List

A beguiling, meditative study of the indelible link between memory and identity, and the transformative power of love.

This would have been a wonderful short film, but the premise is slow and laboured over a feature length.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
