    Certain things in Three Monkeys can only be described as brilliant.

    Ceylan has an unerring gift for camera placement, and his slow, measured scenes can be as hypnotic as they are lovely -- at times, too much so, with the characters constrained by his poetic perfection.

    While recognizably Ceylan's work, is more of a genre piece - a noirish suspense film - and less successful.
