Audience Member Excruciatingly slow, plot-undriven filmmaking that presumes that it can survive on a series of atmospheric shots on location. The camera tended to stay on scenes for far longer than necessary, especially when we had clearly already gotten the dry narration. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Mehr demnächst im Schnitt: "In sorgfältig kadrierten Aufnahmen stellt TALIL KITABI zwei unterschiedliche Aggregatzustände eines Familienverbundes und verschiedener Existenzen in der ländlichen Türkei gegenüber und registriert mit Interesse, aber erfreulicherweise ohne übergroßes Sendungsbewusstsein, die Verschiebungen und Entwicklungen innerhalb dieser fragil werdenden sozialen Bündnisse."
