It would take a cold heart not to feel some uplift from Aisholpan's game-changing triumph against the odds.
The director’s achievement is not only to have to have discovered his subjects but to have won their trust and affection.
A great subject – a Kazakh teenager who wants to defy gender stereotypes and hunt with eagles – results in a heartwarming but unsurprising, risk-free film.
The Eagle Huntress tugs at the heartstrings but it is an undeniably beautiful, rousing true-life tale.
Takes you on an exhilarating, heartwarming journey. A delight.
The story of a young Mongolian girl who takes up a traditionally male role in her nomadic community is heartwarming, but perhaps too good to be true.
