The story of the weepy mother
By mishi from Salisbury , 15 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
What a wonderful film to watch with your family. We all sat down to it together, an increasingly rare occurrance, and were delighted by the quietness of the film. It is the antithesis of the usual blockbusting family extravaganza dished up to families in the guise of entertainment, which usually turn out to be unmoving and unfunny.
We all loved it and it is one film we will always remember.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Ell1981 (169 reviews) from London , 07 Dec 2010In the vain of Herzog this is a cleverly made film that balances docu with drama. It feels very natural and disguises the amount of work that went into making it. Excellent and unexpected!- Was this review helpful to you?

The Story of the Weeping Camel
By a customer from Hull , 19 Apr 2009Astonishing film of great beauty with authentic landscapes and characters. The 'story' itself is not so startling, but it is a vehicle for the skilful portrayal of a nomadic people who live in the wild Mongolian terrain and have their own rich culture - threatened, in the event, by the contact with a more 20th century way of life and television!
The performances of the actors - if indeed they were, rather than simply locals - was staggering. And that includes the camels! Seriously.
I have not been so gripped by a film for a long, long time. See it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful and touching story
By ninka (45 reviews) from London , 10 Apr 2009A wonderful portrait of Mongolian culture and lifestyle in the middle of the desert. The cinematography is breath taking and every minute has you captivated by the wonderful family & their animals who are at the heart of this film. The 'weeping camel' moment had me completely speechless and it was truly one of the most wonderful things I've seen in a documentary. Well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?
