Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Jay_Kay_71 What an incredible film......Who'd have thought it? At first look you think it's about a couple camels!! But it's actually a fascinating incite into the way of life of Mongolian, nomadic herdsmen & women.A simpler way of life than what we're used to in Western society, but I think in many ways a more spiritually enriching way of life.The bit at the end where the mother & calf finally bond and the mother actually is crying, is just amazing.A very well put together piece of cinematography......Well worth watching.

Robert D. Ruplenas I truly feel sorry for those viewers - of a younger generation, no doubt - who are products of a culture whose main purpose seems to be the constant diminishing of attention spans. This is indeed a slow and long-breathed story whose pace matches the vast spaces and ancient culture of the people portrayed. I stumbled on this charming, touching, and humorous film purely by accident this morning, drawn by its fetching title. As soon as I tuned in I could not take my eyes off it. It is true that we are drawn by the strangeness of the way of life of these people, but the film makers have done a superb job of showing us how, in so many ways, these people and their families are so much like us, stressing our common humanity. The film makers made the irable decision not to include a voice-over narration, allowing events and the words of the people involved to tell the story, as sparse as it is. But then "story" is not the point of this movies, although the central plot line of a mother camel who rejects her calf is certainly sufficient to make it all hang together. I also - although far from being a guilty green liberal felt a twinge of sadness abd regret to see the accoutrements of Western consumer culture slowly insinuating themselves into these people's lives. I really cringed when young Ugna asked his father for a TV for their tent.This is really a grownup film, and perhaps it appeal is - sadly - to a more mature and intelligent audience, but it is a real sleeper not to be missed.

Thom-13 I almost feel I should give this film a higher rating, but it was just average. I liked a lot of aspects of it, especially as a documentary without the voice-over telling us what we are supposed to think and know. However, it just didn't work for me. I don't know if it was too slow or the story was not compelling enough. The story was slightly interesting, watching the people involved was obviously the aim and the story of the mother camel and her calf was almost a distraction.. Watching people who have access to an odd hodgepodge of technology was interesting, but I think they should have done two documentaries here and both would have probably been better.

Claudio Carvalho In the spring of the Gobi Desert, in South Mongolia, a nomadic family of shepherds has troubles when one camel has a tough two days delivery, immediately rejecting the offspring. The family unsuccessfully uses their best efforts trying to force the female to accept and feed the newborn. When there is no further hope of saving the animal, they send their two sons to bring a musician from the nearest town to perform a ritual and save the "baby camel".I do not know, and I was really curious to know, how could be the original screenplay of this documentary. I believe the first intention of directors Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni would be to document the lifestyle of a nomadic family of shepherds, showing a different culture for the Westerners. However, fortune gave them the opportunity of sharing a great experience with the viewers with the ritual that brought the camel to accept the offspring. Thank you, Messrs. Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, for such touching, beautiful and wonderful film. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Camelos Também Choram" ("Camels Also Weep")
