Winter Sleep Ratings & Reviews
Film School Rejects
Tomris Laffly
Ceylan's deeply observant, quiet epic might leave you detached at first, but this is the kind of work that aims to creep up on and haunt you in the long haul, in many not instantly recognizable ways.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Such miserable people; why should we care? Maybe because Ceylan does.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The easy gag about the 196-minute "Winter Sleep" is that it's so good it makes 3 1/2 hours feel like two, but that's no joke.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
These scenes are talky, yes, but what talk!
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
"Winter" feels very much like an epic novel, mirroring the pacing and themes of Chekov, whose work was its inspiration.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Probably the finest (and paradoxically, least faithful) Chekhov adaptation on film.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
Winter Sleep crackles like a hearth fire-it's a slow but incandescent burn.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Ceylan paces this thin dramatic sketch as if it were a Wagner opera, with ponderous pauses and fraught gazes yearning toward depths that the movie doesn't reach.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Intimate, spectacular and masterful ...

Glenn Kenny
This movie struck me as both Ceylan's plainest, and perhaps his finest.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Despite Mr. Bilginer's dug-in performance and the haunting grandeur of Aydin's world, this is finally a character too small to see.
NPR
Ella Taylor
My favorite movie of 2014 is three hours long, and it's about Turkish people who live in caves.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Bilginer gives a truly towering performance as Aydin-arguably the year's best, across all categories.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Beautiful to look at, with its burnished interiors and magnificent Turkish steppes, this long film builds to a powerful conclusion.
New York Daily News
Graham Fuller
"Winter Sleep" won't appeal to action lovers, but if you like endless verbal warfare, this is a joy.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
It's an epic tragedy about life in the Ivory Tower and the inability to understand-much less empathize with-other human beings.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
This patient, beautiful, painful, engrossing film pits husband and wife against each other and their world in a series of extended conversations/confrontations.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
Nuri Bilge Ceylan again exhibits his gift for making interesting stories out of predetermined plots, locating small eddies of change in the midst of eternally fixed dynamics.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
The esoteric world of masterful Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan proves as vibrant and uneasy as ever in Winter Sleep, a Chekhovian meditation on a marriage that returns to the mood of the director's early films like Climates and Clouds of May.
Variety
Justin Chang
Nuri Bilge Ceylan is at the peak of his powers with Winter Sleep, a richly engrossing and ravishingly beautiful magnum opus that surely qualifies as the least boring 196-minute movie ever made.
