The Story of the Weeping Camel Ratings & Reviews
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Exudes a subtle spiritual power.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
As unique as the title animal: unrushed as a donkey, shaggy as a llama, sturdy as a horse — and, it turns out, with a sensitive soft spot for music. Who'd'a thunk?
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
A simple and radiant piece of humanism.
Las Vegas Mercury
Jeannette Catsoulis
An astonishing, mesmerizing film about a vanishing way of life
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
An unusual film that is part ethnographic documentary and part narrative film.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
While it isn't always easy to get used to the slower natural rhythms this film celebrates, its cumulative effect is undeniable.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
The most sincere and heartfelt camel movie in years, maybe ever.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Quietly moving.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
A window on a changing world most of us will never see.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Whether this is filmmaking or recording is always up for debate; that it's fascinating isn't.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
A modest pleasure - a quiet little oasis in the blockbuster desert.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Like Himalaya, Weeping Camel essentially lets native people tell their own unforgettable story.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Strangely moving film.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Transcends genre to become a deeply affecting allegory about the importance of patience and acceptance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A joyous movie.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
An entrancing story of how the neglected reconnect with the mother culture.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
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).
Chicago Tribune
Ellen Fox
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.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A simple tale of animal estrangement and reconciliation that in its own quiet way manages to be soothing, hypnotic, even magical.
