Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter Visually striking and memorably intimate. Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Francisco Marinero El Mundo (Spain) It gets stuck halfway between an anthropological study and the pure contemplation of landscapes. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 1/5 Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) A film filled with spectacular locations that is a lesson on humility in occasions when civilization and the wild collide. [Full Review in Spanish] Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) What almost begins as The Ballad of Narayama ends in [a] happy cultural communion.

Audience Member 2019-2-13 The silver world is stunning. The scene of mother polar bear and 2 kids is touching. And I just know that Inuit is asian. No wonder I feel they look so much like Japanese while watching the movie. Very different culture even nowadays. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
