richardk.Oct 30, 20069Having seen Distant and enjoyed it, I was eager to see Ceylan's newest film. This is quite a beautiful and very involving film. Visually it is stunning and it is quite real in every aspect of it. The couple--the director and his real life wife--are involved in a finished relationship that neither can fully release each other from and it makes for a wonderful film.

BrianW.Jan 13, 20075A major disappointment. I loved Distant, which was the work of a major, mature filmmaker. I didn't expect Ceylan to remake Distant, but I was surprised by the shallowness of the lead characters. The woman whines throughout, and the man just comes off as unpleasant and dim. A lovely final shot almost makes up for the monotony, but this film was an extreme disappointment for me.

AliE.Nov 23, 20066Mostly seen as a disappointment in Turkey, Climates tells a much more low-scale story compared to Ceylan's previous films. I liked it as a story of a pathetic man, but it's really nothing more. So there's no need to take it any more seriously. Nuri Bilge's real-life wife Ebru Ceylan is great though as an actress.

70Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, Climates is not a masterpiece, a word that gets pompously thrown around a lot at pictures few paying customers actually want to see. It is, rather, a meticulous study of a crumbling relationship, marked by many luminous small moments and a startling interruption of violent eroticism.

Under Ceylan's dull direction and the equally leaden editing, technical contributions are lackluster and straight-forward. Similar to the script, they only serve to distend an undernourished central story.

60Immaculately shot and composed as always, and moving at Ceylan's usual measured pace, this one is slightly enlivened by more likable perfs and a trim 98-minute running time.
