Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Scott Von Doviak, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com: A modest pleasure - a quiet little oasis in the blockbuster desert. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Quietly moving. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: A beautiful and delicate reminder of the myriad ways in which life is lived on this huge planet of ours. Read more
Ellen Fox, Chicago Tribune: Anyone who feels like they're drowning in their own polluted, godless, reality-TV-choked, errand-ridden consumerist life will find a momentary escape from modernity in The Story of the Weeping Camel. Read more
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: Like Himalaya, Weeping Camel essentially lets native people tell their own unforgettable story. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Just a little too slow moving for me. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Movies weren't made for cats and dogs -- they were made to show camels. Seriously, try sitting through a nanosecond of the new Garfield after these monumentally hairy guys have drifted into your life. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A simple tale of animal estrangement and reconciliation that in its own quiet way manages to be soothing, hypnotic, even magical. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: The most sincere and heartfelt camel movie in years, maybe ever. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The vivid fictional specifics, and the simple loveliness of the artless performances by nonactor Mongolian nomads, attest to the filmmakers' abundant artistry. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: The characters are charming, the colours of the carpets in their yurts colourful and the emphasis on family inescapable. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: A window on a changing world most of us will never see. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The Story of the Weeping Camel is rigged toward a sentimental conclusion and overpopulated with cutesy touches, but there are many remarkable sights along the way. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: A simple and radiant piece of humanism. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: It has the cute quotient, but it does more than spur cries of 'Awww.' The film is a healthy dose of cultural enrichment. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: I haven't been this moved by the ineffable wisdom conveyed in the eyes of beasts since Robert Bresson's transcendent Au Hasard Balthazar (1966). Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: The title of this movie isn't a metaphor. The filmmakers have actually made a movie about a pale and needy newborn camel whose mother ignores it. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: While it isn't always easy to get used to the slower natural rhythms this film celebrates, its cumulative effect is undeniable. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A joyous movie. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Who knew that nomads' yurts were so cozy and colorful, or that camels could be so soulful? Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Chances are, if you're susceptible to this movie's gentle charms, you'll weep when the camel does. Read more
Derek Elley, Variety: It's a sad, funny, sometimes brutal look at the way in which the animal world and human world occasionally intersect to their mutual benefit. Read more
Leslie Camhi, Village Voice: Beyond its rare visions of remote vistas, Camel's great charm lies in its seeming simplicity. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Strangely moving film. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Transcends genre to become a deeply affecting allegory about the importance of patience and acceptance. Read more
