What is most winning about Distant is that it can peer past the grief and find a scrap of comedy. [15 March 2004, p. 154]

An arthouse film par excellence, a consummately made study of loneliness and frustration.

Ceylan, who also served as cinematographer, frames the affecting, unstudied performances in gorgeously chosen shots and nonevents that sometimes teeter on the edge of comedy before knocking us breathless with their emotional power.
