A lovely little movie shot with care, warmth, and soul. What really made Kedi good were the interviews and the perspective they offered. The Turkish people filtered their thoughts through these innocent felines and what came out was pure humanity.

This movie was wonderful. Whether you're a cat lover or not, it's hilarious, poignant, and amazingly well-shot. A love letter to the cats of Istanbul, and their guardian angels who keep them fed and sheltered. Go see it!

While it might be easy to mistake this documentary for an extended cat video, "Kedi" delivers so much more -- excellent cinematography, gentle humor, and insightful observations about how we might better get along with others and ourselves.While it might be easy to mistake this documentary for an extended cat video, "Kedi" delivers so much more -- excellent cinematography, gentle humor, and insightful observations about how we might better get along with others and ourselves. Having seen this in a jam-packed, 750-seat theater for a matinee showing, this release proves there are audiences for content that don't involve explosions or inane laughs. Feline lovers will no doubt adore this one the most, but those who appreciate good cinema, regardless of content, will likely find much to enjoy here, too.… Expand

If you like cat videos, you'll like Kedi. I like cat videos, so I liked Kedi. It's as simple as that, really.

P.S. the secret to Kedi is realizing that the people taking care of the cats of Istanbul are as interesting as the cats themselves.

The film explores the bond between man and animal. It does so by showing the profound effects the cats on the lives of the city's human inhabitants. Coming and going as they please, these felines are often nobody's pet. Yet they still find themselves considered family by the people they come in contact with. The stories shared here of the bonds formed between man and animal are often touching. It's a very warm hearted film.

Of course we also get to see many beautiful shots of cats. Watching them live their lives is interesting. There's something that has always set them apart from other animals. The movie uses to it's advantage very well. Certainly any cat lover is sure to enjoy this film. It will also appeal to anyone who has a love for animals in general. Some of the scenery shots go on for a little too long without feline intervention, but overall this is very well made documentary that stays true to it's subject. Certainly one of the best films of 2017 (which was a great year for movies all around). Don't miss it. By focusing on animals, Kedi manages to find a lot to say about the human condition. Do animal make us better people? Can they? It may even reach the dog people out there.… Expand

Foreign film with fabulous city photography and of course cat pictures that melt your heart. There were wonderful stories of the cats and their caregivers. Saw this last weekend at the Landmark Edina.

Video sites are the brave new world of movie and series and other similar content producing, snatching awards and offering the freshness and quality the mainstream American cinema can only dream about.
Following Amazon, Netflix, and others,Video sites are the brave new world of movie and series and other similar content producing, snatching awards and offering the freshness and quality the mainstream American cinema can only dream about.
Following Amazon, Netflix, and others, YouTube has hopped on that train too, with similarly impressive results.
"Kedi" is not actually produced with YouTube's money, but they bought all the streaming rights for YouTube Red. And now it's in our cinemas too.
„Kedi“ („cat“ in Turkish) is a 79-minute documentary about street cats of Istanbul. There’s a lot of them around, and many people love and take care of them. What results is a heartful glimpse into the world that you may have missed even if you’ve been to Istanbul.
If you don't care about cats, or have watched too many animal videos online already, "Kedi" is probably not worth your time. But for ardent cat fans such as I, watching it is a pretty good way to celebrate the existence of those magical animals all over again.
"Kedi" is well made and put together, if not exactly spectacular in any way. If you like cats, try it out.… Expand
