Sinekatalog’s take

Nuri Bilge Ceylan's drama follows a young would-be writer who returns to his Anatolian village and clashes with his gambling father. Long, talky and sharply observed, with tremendous conversations, it is a rich portrait of generations and dreams.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
