The strength of WINTER SLEEP is not so much in what any of the characters say as much as what it needs to actually show, which is the way the most seemingly banal circumstances can throw you into a dark night of the soul. The film is a wide-awake despair so calamitous one has no choice but to make a companion of it.
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.
