David Bax

The Eagle Huntress provides meaning. Sadly, it does so via mostly forgettable platitudes.

The Eagle Huntress is a lively and unusual encounter with a remote population and their customs...

A hypnotically lensed coming-of-age tale.

I doubt many audiences going to see this movie are would-be eagle trainers, but that certainly doesn't take away from the film's inspirational tone. This is a breathtaking and inspiring work from start to finish.

The inspiring nature of both Aisholpan's hard work and her unflagging determination are authentic enough.
