Critic Reviews for Yol (The Way)

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (3)

  • The result is not merely a document against the military government of Turkey. It is an intensely human story of three lives entangled in tradition and vengeance.

    October 22, 2018 | Full Review…
  • Gney is a firebrand of his country's intellectual left. His films -- slow, ruminative, defiantly indigenous -- smolder with an ideologue's indignation and a poet's ironic compassion.

    August 26, 2014 | Full Review…
  • The film's poetry, its combination of sound and image especially, has an unconscious innocence no longer available to most European and American narratives.

    Time Out
    Top Critic
  • A film whose political and ethnic concerns are likely to be equated -- wrongly -- with cinematic achievement.

    August 30, 2004 | Full Review…
  • Each time a sequence approaches cinematic life, it's flattened by the appearance of a thesis.

    January 1, 2000 | Full Review…
  • To find out about Turkey's people and about the Anatolian terrain that nourishes and menaces them, see Yol.
