Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[T]he film’s approach surprises us, fixating less on the furry dazzle of the snow leopard in her natural Tibetan habitat than on the very act of looking at nature in the first place." - 11/27/2021 Variety
"[A] calming, meditative experience. You can feel the chill in the air when you’re watching it, and it often achieves a hypnotic tone, thanks in no small part to a gorgeous score from the two geniuses Nick Cave and Warren Ellis..." - 12/22/2021 RogerEbert.com
