Some of the images Kaplanoglu finds are superb: a forest, a mountainside, a rippling, pulsing moon reflected in a pool of water. It is poetic film-making.

3/5

The rhythms of the picture are as patient and fluid as other Turkish art films might lead us to expect, but a trickle of anxiety runs through it...

3/4

A fascinating mix of the studious and the artful, a strange amalgam of left and right brained filmmaking.

As I was watching it, I had a bit of time to reflect on the elements that seem to guarantee film festival success... The less the characters talk, the better. Movies about articulate people just don't seem as profound.

It all feels a little generic.

Very very beautiful area, beautiful boy, mother and father. A slice of life in the mountain. Very psychological. Well thought. The only issue I have is that the father, obviously rather smart, can't think of a safer way to climb to hives. So it seems obviously not true. The beauty of the film can't be ignored though.

There is some beauty of the lives shot, but the film seems ultimately gratuitously sad, playing with our emotions.
