Nov 28, 2011One year before Andrei Zvyagintsev amazed audiences visually in 2003, <i>Uzak</i> restored faith in Turkish cinema in the fact that new heights could be reached. What we are witnessing here is a melancholic masterpiece. Distance is not only physical; unfortunately, personal will determines how much we allow circumstances to shape our relationships. Great reflection for modernity. 97/100

Jun 16, 2011I 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?Pierluigi P Super Reviewer

Dec 03, 2010Quintessential Ceylan film is near flawless. Excellent performances from the two leads and engrossing direction and cinematography make for a really astonishing film about two cousins' relationship and the physical distance that seem to grow as they come closer spatially.
