Though a bit pat in its coincidences, the film manages to avoid the pitfalls of trite characterization and a disjointed narrative that so often come with these stories of interconnection. Akin gives each of his main characters a real weight, as Baki Davrak (Nejat) is especially effective in his role--there's an empathy in his face that fits well with his character.

There seems to be a certain disconnect between the film's naturalistic, laid-back feel and the abrupt, unusual death of some of the characters. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful and heartbreaking movie about loss and the unlikely connections formed between unlikely people.

what a bad movie for the standart of Akin. what a weak caricature of a left-wing revolutionary militant terribly acted by Nurgul Yesilcay. such a pointless script ending at nowhere. very weak! addition after all praise and awards: worst script, worst observance of politics, worst acting

"Akin's Head-On infused its hellish misfit romance with in-your-face violence; here even two violent deaths are rendered discreetly to the point of bloodlessness." - Bill Weber

An interesting story, thought provoking but it didn't really move me.

I am dumbfounded that some liken The Edge of Heaven to such Oscar-baiting works as Crash or Babel -- meandering, reductive pieces that explain away the nuances of existence in favor of a vague notion of interconnectedness. It shares with those a contemplation of coincidence, circumstance and fate (as well as a certain messiness), but the drama it reaps from its episodal structure, rife with images whose reappearances amplify the magnitude of the film's sadness, is exponentially more poignant.
