Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times "Road to Mother" may be pedagogic and overlong in its approach to Kazakhstan's past, but it is effective in communicating the country's history. May 23, 2019 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter It works mainly in fits and starts, though there's no question that the movie's depiction of the effects of Soviet rule on a nomadic population will be eye-opening for many Western viewers, and deeply resonant for Kazakhstanis.
