Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

ckriesa-1 For me, a great movie always starts with a great story, preferably true - Then add epic scale, preferably period, then add exotic locations, with flawless cinematography, then add deep acting with great directing, and there you have it, that is why I loved this film. I was taken to a time and place I didn't know and through the directing and acting, I was able to feel what it was like to live there in the 1800's – the struggle, the unending sacrifice, the love, the harsh conditions, and the values earned from living in in those times and in that rugged beauty, Such films give me so much more appreciation for all those blessings that I normally take for granted and give me hope for a better world. A priceless experience - thank you Mr.Sadyk Sher-Nyaz. I look forward to the next chapter.

Adilet Tilekeev I was lucky to be on the premier of this movie in LA. Absolutely worth to be nominated for Best foreign movie for upcoming 87's Oscar. Director of Kurmandjan Datka is a man with vision, there is no doubt that this picture will get nominated and be awarded for best foreign movie in 2015. This movie is based on real story that happened centuries ago in Kyrgyzstan, country of nomad people that got settled in Central Asia. This movie helps to educate young generation of Kyrgyz people to get familiar with their history. Director, Sher-Niyaz contributed a lot to the country of Kyrgyz people where he developed a great platform in movie- making business, as it has grown tremendously in the past 5 years and brought up enormous attention of mass media from all over the world. The biggest movie project that ever occurred in history of Kyrgyzstan, people from all over the world bless this movie, critics are foreseeing good results and director is working really hard to push this movie into Oscar.

nishono ... .Kyrgyz women - More host camels, horses, the owner of the boz ui "yurta" more than the Kyrgyz - everything. Kyrgyz women, not kyrgyz male will construct Kirghiz home (boz ui) "yurta" on arrival nomads lovely their mountain pasture. Kyrgyz women will feel, and understand horses, camels and cattle. Kyrgyz women will graze them, take care, and feed, just like own child and husband. Maybe by this constant rough work among the harsh nature of this invariable courageous struggle with the needs and burdens of life, Kyrgyz girl Kyrgyz woman since childhood grew so tall, strong, brave and hardy, so similar to the male expression of his face and shape their bones, so independent and strong character. In rare civilized peoples woman enjoys such great value and respect enjoyed by them among the Kirghiz wife and mother ... .. " (from history). I believe that this movie -Kurmanjan Datka-Queen of the Mountains is worthy of receiving Oscar!!!

rahat312 It's a great historical film able to shake one emotionally. It can take you back in the times giving a neat introduction to Kyrgyz culture, history and old traditions. With this film you can imagine daily lives of Central Asian people in the past. It also presents historical events, dynamics of internal relations between Kyrgyz people before they had to join Russian empire. Actors played strongly non- verbally. Especially, it is strong when Kurmanjan decides not to save her son's life from death penalty for the sake of the whole nation. She communicates this to her son just by looking at him. Her son reads this in his mother's eyes and expresses different emotions: first shows the fear of death, and then sadness which then transforms to obedience and then strength before the death. This story has a value for new generations. A woman rises as a leader in a men-dominated place and time and has been able to unite her people and prevent war.
