Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Akin's documentary gets its legs from the subtle questions it raises about Turkey's politics, nationalism, religious identity, cultural integrity and international perception.
– Jonathan Curiel,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
It's a heady, occasionally free-floating mix, and a feast for music lovers.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
28 Jul 2006
fresh:
Even as Crossing the Bridge acknowledges differences, tensions, the provocative power music exerts on our hearts, it makes an elegant, head-bopping, hip-swaying argument that sound unifies.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,

The music is gorgeous, and Akin's feverish camera shows an exile's love of the beautiful, crumbling but energized city as he pokes around its crevices, looking for recombinations of old and new, here and there.
– Ella Taylor,

fresh:
Crossing the Bridge does more than offer a wide variety of entertaining and intoxicating Turkish music. It also uses music to paint a portrait of a vibrant, cosmopolitan city and provide a window into a rich and varied national culture.
