The movie is very beautiful and also very slow, mostly due to the relatively primitive setting.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This is no heart-tugging family drama; rather it's a contemplative, compassionate portrait of a hardy people. Offered as a borderline documentary, it proceeds in long, uncluttered takes.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

... a movie without commercial pizzazz but with plenty of art-film treasures.
