University professor Isa (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) and his lover, Bahar (Ebru Ceylan), are on vacation together when they break up. She returns to Istanbul by herself, and later, Isa resumes a relationship with a former lover. Upon hearing that she is in the East filming a TV project, Isa travels to that part of the country to track her down and perhaps mend the rift between them.

Critics Consensus

Aesthetically sound and solidly acted, but will nonetheless ring hollow for some viewers.

Under the guise of the universal theme of love and its mysteries, Ceylan offers a glimpse of harsh and unresolved local particulars.

There is an undeniable beauty to some of [director] Ceylan's imagery, but as drama goes, this film is simply too inert for general audience tastes.

As much as I respect Climates, I can sympathize with viewers who will balk at the film's pretensions and glacial pacing.

4/5

With Climates, especially its masterful opening, is there a more truthful depiction of the irritations and acts of distancing that herald the early stages of a break-up?

I will not soon forget Ceylan's cinematic haikus

Sizzles when it explores the fragile nature of relationships and the difficulty of connecting with the opposite sex.
