All Critics (44) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (39) | Rotten (5) | DVD (3)
Deeply compassionate and frequently amusing, qualifying as a minor miracle of humanely observant filmmaking.
A beautifully made, unapologetically artistic piece of work.
The film's extraordinary shifts from windswept sorrow ... to deadpan comedy ... are uniquely, triumphantly their maker's own.
Ultimately, it becomes a movie about the feeling of being alive, the sensation of existence. It's a movie, in a way, about everything.
Straightforward, droll, brutally honest and arresting, if somewhat stately in progress.
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.
Audience Reviews for Uzak (Distant)
a great portrait of urban alienation and destruction of the family. with wonderful photography
Super Reviewer
I guess I rather watch slices of cake than slices of life. Hitchcock was always right. Why is that some filmmakers think they are giving us profound, meaningful messages through flat out nothingness?
Super Reviewer
An interesting if not totally fulfilling introduction to Turkish cinema.
