Boston Globe - Wesley Morris

It's one of the great movies on the vicissitudes of love, commitment, and attraction. Read full review

Miami Herald - Marta Barber

Ceylan examines human relationships with an eye for details and a soul for the big picture. Read full review

The New York Times - Manohla Dargis

This film paints a haunting portrait of existential solitude, one in which the images speak louder and often more forcefully than do any of the words. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Walter Addiego

This is contemplative moviemaking, with its deliberate pace, often static scenes and emphasis on direct sound. The director keeps the dialogue pared to the bone. Read full review

The New Republic - Stanley Kauffmann

Admittedly, the setting does heighten interest, but this film is much more than an ideational travelogue. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews

Like Ceylan's earlier films, Climates is as gorgeous as it is self-consciously composed, but an hour and 40 minutes is a long time to spend with Isa, forget three seasons. Read full review

Film Threat - Phil Hall

The film is professionally made but a thorough bore at every imaginable level. Read full review

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.… Expand

Mostly 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.

A 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 A major disappointment. I loved Distant, which was the work of a major, mature filmmaker.

A lovely final shot almost makes up for the monotony, but this film was an extreme disappointment for me.… Expand
