Kedi

"If you belong to things like Cool Fun Cat Group on Facebook like I do, you’ll love this light look at the cats of Instanbul. Free-ranging across the city, they have no defined abodes besides those they adopt for themselves, and their personalities are likewise allowed to flourish. Kedi introduces a bunch of lovable felines, described with loving admiration by the humans that dote on them, and dares anyone that’s not Gareth Morgan to sigh and smile their way through the film."

"Kedi stands as a subtle, gentle rebuke to such politico-architectural folly."

"Kedi will make you a believer."

"We're down on the ground with these animals, whose day-to-day impulsiveness finds a sinuous expression in some of the most elegant camerawork to ever grace a nature doc."

"The picture's pleasures are bountiful, particularly for cat lovers..."

"The movie is replete with ingeniously constructed mini-narratives, including a turf war. The mesmerising score by Kira Fontana, interspersed with well-chosen Turkish pop, is a real asset."

"By the time "Kedi" puts these animals through their paces, only one essential question remains unanswered: Will the dogs of the Dardanelles demand equal exposure? This could be a trend."

"A collective portrait that's as elegant as its light-footed subjects, it's guaranteed to soothe a weary mind, and just might lower blood pressure too."
