A father and son argue over whether they should kill a snow leopard that broke into their home and killed 9 sheep.

Sarah Kent

The Arts Desk

CGI and clever editing make the hunt remarkably convincing; as the terrorised sheep try desperately to escape slaughter, their panic is palpable. Sadly, though, all the other visual effects are clunky beyond measure.

Rated: 2/5

With Pema Tseden’s subdued storytelling, the film’s social allegory of this human-animal relationship takes full shape in the final act.

Asian Movie Pulse

“Snow Leopard” is an excellent movie and a rather fitting goodbye for a filmmaker who left the world at the top of his game.

Rated: 7

It’s a striking final vision with which Tseden leaves us: a place that embodies an understanding, or perhaps even a latent human desire, to live in harmony with nature

Film Threat

Snow Leopard is a work of intricate craftsmanship. It is both sumptuously empty and grand every day.

Rated: 7.5/10

In comparison to other entries within the model, and even those by the director himself, it struggles for a sense of motivated purpose beyond the notes it needs to hit — and even those fail to quite coalesce into a proper sense of identity.
