"Kedi" is the cat's meow. Literally.
At 80 minutes, Torun's film feels a bit overlong, but it is as soft and warm as a kitten.
Humans can only draw so many lessons from cats.
Cats wander in and out of frame; humans speculate on whether the local cats are ambitious or arrogant; Turkish music spills onto the soundtrack; and there's more than one growler of a catfight.
Though pleasant to watch, Torun's feature debut feels more like a meandering montage than a structured narrative, and it could easily be half as long.
Those who don't especially like cats - or Istanbul, for that matter - might not get a lot out of Turkish director Ceyda Torun's love letter to the feline population of her native city. For everyone else, it should be an almost unadulterated pleasure.
In an era of constant political turmoil in both the United States and Turkey, the heartwarming humanity on display within Kedi is a welcome sight.
I think cat lovers will get a big kick out of this; others will probably appreciate its humanistic tone more so than the animals.
A heart-warming, charming affair that cat lovers will fall head-over-heels for.
The city teems with felines and the humans who are momentarily or forever transformed through sweet encounters. Sadly, encroaching urbanisation is a threat. Kedi is bittersweet balm for the weary.
What could have easily been a standard fluff piece about pet lovers actually evolves into a thoughtful city symphony where animals and humans are always on equal footing.
Kedi ('cat' in Turkish) is much more than a cute film showing these felines' day-to-day lives.
A fantastic documentary showing the life of street cats in Istanbul. Beautifully shot and with cats full of character, this is the best cat film so far and one all cat owners or cat fans should watch. Fantastic.
Super Reviewer
Kedi shows how the cats of Istanbul bring out the humanity in people. Funny but a tad boring at times, Kedi was charming for this and all cat lover. (4-13-17)
