Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A Chekhovian tale of major artistic power. Read more
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times: Deeply compassionate and frequently amusing, qualifying as a minor miracle of humanely observant filmmaking. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A beautifully made, unapologetically artistic piece of work. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: There is no simple sense of uplift in Distant. But there is an exhilaration to revealing the human condition, and Ceylan is ever on the lookout. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Ceylan, who also served as cinematographer, frames the affecting, unstudied performances in gorgeously chosen shots and nonevents that sometimes teeter on the edge of comedy before knocking us breathless with their emotional power. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The film's extraordinary shifts from windswept sorrow ... to deadpan comedy ... are uniquely, triumphantly their maker's own. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Nuri Bilge Ceylan's wry, modest meditation on pettiness works on a minimalist scale. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The film takes place in Turkey, but its dynamic could be transplanted anywhere -- maybe to our own families. Read more
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: Unwanted guests have a benefit: They can remind us of our own dislikes and vulnerabilities, and help us come to terms (or not) with them. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film possesses a view of the human condition nearly as stark and clear-eyed as its stunning cinematography, which paints Istanbul's domes and minarets and rural Anatolia's breathtaking landscapes with a cold, haunting beauty. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: A doleful Turkish masterpiece. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A sublime treat for anyone with a taste for subtly rendered, almost purely cinematic expression. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: A movie of quiet revelations that is itself quite surprising. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Straightforward, droll, brutally honest and arresting, if somewhat stately in progress. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Ultimately, it becomes a movie about the feeling of being alive, the sensation of existence. It's a movie, in a way, about everything. Read more
