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

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.

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. Expand
