Editor’s note: “About Dry Grasses” (2023) encapsulates itself firmly within the drama genre while infusing a personal touch. Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan skillfully weaves a narrative that prioritizes character development over superficial storytelling.

At a runtime of 3 hours, 17 minutes, the film unfolds at a deliberate pace, ensuring each scene is thoughtfully executed. While it has its imperfections, the film’s strengths significantly outweigh any flaws. If the concept resonates with you, this film deserves a spot on your watchlist.
