Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A thoughtful and moving film about war.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
The performances that Bodrov drew from a mostly amateur cast of Muslim villagers -- most of whom have never seen running hot water, let alone a movie camera -- are alone worth the price of admission.
– Andrew Ross,

fresh:
Simple, powerful, convincing.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
fresh:
The outcome of this movie isn't exactly Hollywood material, but it stirs thoughts and feelings that outlast all too many American studio releases.

Once our disbelief gets suspended, a spell is definitely cast.
