Harrison Richlin IndieWire Snow Leopard Sisters contends is that we are all no better than the snow leopard and if we wish not to be wiped out, we must start working to co-exist rather than lay claim over what we think is ours. Rated: B Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The panoramic scenes of Tshiring and Tenzin stomping around the Himalayas are naturally beautiful, but the effect that the two have on one another becomes equally so. Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film With clear Himalayan light, everything about this film looks beautiful, but you will have to be sharp to spot the animals who effortlessly merge with rock and snow. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A beautifully shot, unforgettable journey that hits so many emotional notes, this documentary will especially resonate with lovers of nature and our planet. Mar 16, 2025 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture There’s far too much wading through tedious circumstances to become fully invested. The core issues are obviously important to platform, but the final results keep one at a distance. The goals are commendable without ever feeling deeply resonant.
