isla s This is a really pretty and charming watch, is my first thought. I loved the cinematography, showing rural Mongolia in all its wonder, with most shots/scenes being in daylight but some being in dusk or at night. I also enjoyed hearing about the (I assume to be traditional) folklore/myths told to the young children - about death and the bad luck that things can bring. There is a fair bit of music played, again I assume it to be traditional Mongolian tunes. I'm always interested in learning about other cultures, so I really liked this and I would recommend it to others. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review david l The Cave of the Yellow Dog surely is overly simplistic in its narrative and uneventful nature. The second act lagged and felt like filler in that framing story. Still, this is a wonderful, cozy and very endearing family flick about a girl and her dog living in the Mongolian steppe. It's a sweet slice-of-life tale that admittedly would have fared better as a pure documentary. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
