The Wild Pear Tree's reviews
Media reviews
The Telegraph
Sensual and lyrical, tremendously well acted, heavy in visual and verbal metaphor (...) There are passages of terrifically subtle deadpan comedy.
Variety
Another visually rich chamber piece from Nuri Bilge Ceylan that builds elaborate rhetorical set pieces of astonishing density (...) The achievement is masterful.
The Hollywood Reporter
Slow and surprisingly talky, the three hours of the film do not exactly fly by (...) but the final sequences are worth the wait
El Mundo
The Guardian
A gentle, humane, beautifully made and magnificently acted movie (...) There are some stunning images in the film (...) It is delicious.
Indiewire
Nuri Bilge Ceylan?s funny, touching father-son bonding tale earns its three hours (...) 'The Wild Pear Tree' maintains a visual sophistication unparalleled in international cinema.
