B+
There is a balance of isolation and expanse in the film "Aga" that cannot be feigned, a sense of the enormity of existence measured against the fragile nature of single lives. The result is both wondrous and chilling. Go to Full Review

Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 09/26/2019
A small gem of focused filmmaking, "Ága" tells a minimal story so beautifully it holds us completely. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 10/21/2020
Aga is best experienced as a sort of visual poem commemorating a culture that may soon be reduced to a historical back-chapter. Go to Full Review

Ága is a subtle yet unmistakable reminder that there are thousands, even millions of stories in the world that have almost nothing to do with anything electronic. Go to Full Review

dave d 10/06/2020 Vividly scored and mouth watering to look at 'Ága' doesn't have much on the page (maybe a handful of pages of dialogue), but it makes up for it in scintillating beauty. Does it overcome the imbalance? That will be up to you in this Bulgarian drama film. It's soft and subtle and full of nuance, but the finish just didn't connect with me. There wasn't enough charter development for me to care about the ending and that's why it's a firmly on the fence feeling of a film possibly didn't need subtitles or dialogue to get a similar if not better result. Final Score: 6.2/10 See more 08/10/2020 Beautiful, engrossing and touching. See more razvan p 06/11/2020 nice ending. -dont know why they make em so fat. they didnt eat carbs.. See more 10/13/2019 Good acting, beautiful scenery, but I feel it lacked important storytelling elements. Instead it's focus is mainly on nice landscape shot. Nevertheless, after the essentially non-existent 2nd act, the end provided a nice theme, and a sad conclusion. 3/5 *. See more 09/08/2019 I liked it. It was pretty sc See more 09/06/2019 Beautifully filmed, authentic performances and a director who allowed the landscape and physical performances to tell a great deal of the emotional story of reindeer herders whose children have drifted away, who see the end of their way of life, and who prepare for that end with nobility and grace.
