The movie is very beautiful and also very slow, mostly due to the relatively primitive setting.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is no heart-tugging family drama; rather it's a contemplative, compassionate portrait of a hardy people. Offered as a borderline documentary, it proceeds in long, uncluttered takes.
A quiet gem, suitable for all ages.
This unassuming drama of a nomad family brims with small marvels.
... a movie without commercial pizzazz but with plenty of art-film treasures.
