| Daily Express (UK)Andy LeaThis beautifully shot film will be catnip to fans of felines. |
| NewcityRay PrideImagine your favorite online cat video, multiply by hundreds... a ravishing beauty. |
| Film InquiryArlin GoldenI know not everyone is a cat person, but I think most will be Kedi people. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyI am a cat owner, I admit, but even I was surprised at the power of Kedi. Where did all that emotion come from? It's because what Torun really captures in her unexpectedly powerful film is kindness in its purest form. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)Jenny FeniakThe philosophical depth unearthed in Kedi is astounding. |
| Buffalo NewsRobbie-Ann McPhersonThis is a small film, but what a beautifully heartfelt one. It's one that deserves to be seen, if for no other reason than to remind us that there are still corners of the world where the vulnerable are watched over by the compassionate. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Martha K. BakerIf all you know of cats is what you see on Facebook, you will be amazed by Kedi. If what you know about cats comes from your resident feline, you will be soothed and assured by Kedi. |

| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillIn an era of constant political turmoil in both the United States and Turkey, the heartwarming humanity on display within Kedi is a welcome sight. |
