Honey Reviews
AV Club
Sam Adams
The tight framing of Kaplanoglu's fixed-camera tableaux and the film's almost supernatural colors lend the scenes a glimmer of deadpan wit, as if they've been intensified and distorted by the prism of memory.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A thoughtful and intelligent film, and should appeal to adventurous souls.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Like the viewer, Mr. Kaplanoglu is quite happy to let nature do the talking and cast a lyrical, mysterious spell.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A fascinating mix of the studious and the artful, a strange amalgam of left and right brained filmmaking.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Semih Kaplanoglu's Bal walks a fine line between affecting, character-based drama and long-take academicism, nearly always coming down on the side of the former.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
Though this graceful film is a minor addition to the canon of Middle Eastern cinema in which nothing and everything happens, Bal is still a beauty.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
the lively eyes of young Yusuf communicate the breathless wonder of discovery.
Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Burl Burlingame
Citybound film aestheticists will suck on their cigs and drone on about the crushing inevitability of despair and the horror of nature unbound. The rest of us think, bummer.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A beautiful Turkish film about a six-year-old boy and his encounters with the adult world of mystery, beauty, and loss.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A luminous film about a six-year-old boy with a stuttering problem. Not the typical plot, but this is after all the year of "The King's Speech" winning an Oscar for best picture.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A boring, frustratingly sluggish, highly elliptical experience with undeniably picturesque scenery and a sensitive performance by Bora Atlas. It would have worked much better as a short film.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
For a special audience, this meditative film, its country's selection to compete for the foreign language Oscar, is a Turkish delight.
Boxoffice Magazine
Mark Keizer
A gorgeously shot, deeply interior portrait of the artist as a young introvert.
