Press Quotes
Based on Lamb's richly-deserved applause from the Cannes crowd at its premiere, Ethiopian film's first venture to Cannes will most assuredly not be its last
—Nick Evan-Cook, One Room with a View
A delicately satisfying drama with coming-of-age elements, deeply sympathetic to its characters and very much attuned to the landscape around them
—Jay Weissberg, Variety
First-time director Yared Zeleke coaxes gorgeously nuanced performances out of his first-time actors
—Jennifer Rabin, Willamette Week
richly textured, visually, with the camera drinking in everything from Chuni's thick, chunky fur to the dried-out earth and wood used for the huts and the finely woven, colorful scarves that everyone wears
—Boyd van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter
