The Tale of Silyan Reviews
The Contending
Frank J. Avella
Cinematically, Tamara Kotevska's strange, gorgeously shot, The Tale of Silyan is a remarkable achievement blending the documentary plight of Macedonian farmers with a lyrical if truly maddening folk story...
Next Best Picture
Daniel Howat
Blending myth and realism with exquisite sensitivity, Kotevska crafts a work of rare poetic power, a film that observes, listens, and ultimately illuminates the quiet, stubborn beauty of life itself.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Captivating and meticulously filmed, <em>The Tale of Silyan</em> stands out among the documentaries this year.
That Shelf
Shane Slater
Inspired by Macedonian folklore, The Tale of Silyan delivers a rich allegory exploring the consequences of familial, communal and ecological betrayal.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
It's a beauty of a film-a wonder to behold with striking cinematography, poetic storytelling, and a soundtrack rife with avian clucking that warms the heart.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Tamara Kotevska's 'The Tale of Silyan' is a lovely character study of a man and an injured stork, one that intertwines mythology and the plight of people who work off a dying land into a short, effective piece of work.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Cinematographer Jean Dakar … photographs the area in stunning images, tracking the storks in flight and capturing the landscapes in golden hour.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Described as a heart-warming tale of a farmer who saves and befriends an injured white stork in North Macedonia, The Tale of Silyan is actually a harrowing and sadly resonant story about survival during an era of increasing wealth disparity.
AWFJ.org
Rachel West
The Tale of Silyan will reward those who seek it out. With sublime images and multi-layered themes, Tamara Kotevska has delivered a worthy successor to Honeyland and only further cemented herself as a filmmaker with empathy and a unique vision.
FirstShowing.net
Alex Billington
This is one film I won't be able to stop raving about. It's a cinematic experience that will leave anyone who watches it changed for the better & completely rejuvenated.
POV Magazine
Barbara Goslawski
The genius of this documentary is how it makes something improbable like a fairytale come to life and make sense in a modern context.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The director employs a sturdy mythical backbone of storytelling but it's the emotional heart provided by Nikola and his family that are the real magic touch.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
An absolute charmer, The Tale of Silyan is an affecting look at the human-avian bond, with all its mysteries, warmth and ungainly practicalities.
IndieWire
Christian Blauvelt
The work of a filmmaker capable of shattering categories and inventing new forms. Billed as a docu-fable, it blends non-fiction with the elements of a fairy tale in an extremely sophisticated way for a filmmaker still in her early thirties.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
"The Tale of Silyan" has the same remarkable and unforced universality about it as "Honeyland" did in a much more profound respect when it isn't difficult to imagine farmers facing the same squeeze worlds away from Macedonia.
