The landscape shots were pretty.

Rezo Gvazava

The camera work is breathtaking. It beautifully frames the quiet tragedy of our vanishing Georgian villages.

Marta Ferreras

I fell asleep. It's just a series of static shots with people talking about the past. Not for me.

The stunning, melancholic cinematography of the mountains.

Every Georgian should watch this. It is a soul-stirring reflection on what we are losing as a culture.

The organic feel of the gathering breaks away from the overall rhythm.

A masterpiece of Georgian documentary. It's a painful and beautiful record of our fading history.

Live Screenings Attendee

Beautiful landscapes, but holding a static shot of a shared meal for that long just makes me lose focus.

Ivan Tomaszewski

Too slow and meditative for me. I prefer faster-paced films.
