Rating: 4/5 --
Intrigues almost more in retrospect than it does when you're watching it, as enigmas and emotions around the case are teased out, and the oblique power of a remarkable ending sneaks up and stuns you.

Rating: 5/5 --
Those that can embrace its patient, visually-enthralling style and sparse, yet affecting dialogue will be rewarded with a film of grand ambition, delving deep into the human condition and questioning our very moral fabric.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- Nuri Bilge Ceylan, one of Turkey's best directors, has a deep understanding of human nature. He loves his characters and empathizes with them.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/4 --
A movie of such dark, smoldering intensity that it's easy to forget that half of it takes place in near darkness.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
A police procedural as existential inquiry, set in a remote dreamscape of mystery and foreboding.

It runs 157 minutes, and I can't say you don't feel them. You do - but in the way you would, reading a very good book in an uncomfortable chair.

Product Description:
A night spent gathering evidence of a killing reveals a great deal about both the criminals and the men bringing them to justice in this drama from Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Kenan (Firat Tanis) and Ramazan (Burhan Yildiz) are two men who have confessed to murder, and Naci (Yilmaz Erdogan) is the police detective who has been assigned to wrap up the details of the case. With several of his colleagues in tow, Naci heads out to the woods with the killers in order to find and recover the body. However, Kenan and Ramazan's memories about the night of the killing are foggy, and it takes far longer than anyone expected to arrive at the scene of the crime. Over the course of a long night, the men talk about many different aspects of life, and their conversation explores their attitudes about life in Turkey and the human condition in general. BIR ZAMANLAR ANADOLU'DA (aka ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA) was an official selection at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
