It really sneaks up on you... first you think it's going to be about the plot, then you expect some crazy drama and twists, but you find yourself in a complentative, existential procedural, with characters that have depth and realism...
Solid movie... turn off the iphone...

I liked it too, more so for the images than the plot. Ceylan really knows how to make a close up or a stark landscape into something beautiful.
Have you seen his later Winter Sleep? I believe that to be one of the best films of the last ten years.

@rudely_murray I haven't seen that but I'll certainly check it out

Watched it last night, as much as I like Winter Sleep this is a slightly better work. Ceylan is certainly a top shelf director.

Sounds neat, I'll check it out. It sounds like it may be similar to A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, which I liked quite a bit.
