New Review For Movie Sweetgrass
If there's anything we can learn from the creatures here, it's that any day in which you don't get stripped of your coat or eaten by a bear is probably a good one.Jason Anderson-Toronto Star
There are audience rewards for sticking with the herd and its lonesome cowboys.
Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail
Instead of rounding up information, this documentary about an arduous sheep drive across Montana is driven by the beauty of the landscape.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
It's a gorgeous and, believe it or not, riveting documentary...about sheep.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
It may not be your thing, but Sweetgrass is unlike anything you'll see in a theater this year. It bravely strays from the flock.
Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News
Filmmakers Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor rigorously follow the cinema-verité creed: no sonorous Morgan Freeman voiceovers, no explanatory intertitles until the finale, just carefully observed reality.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
The talk is sheep. And normally, I'd say baa humbug to sitting down with lambs for 90 minutes. But any apprehension. abates under the power of a documentary that's as beautiful as it is informative.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger
As it progresses it begins to strike a subtly elegiac, unsentimental tone...
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
Unadorned by narrative or score, it's an unsentimental portrayal of a fading way of life and the peaceful creatures under its charge.
-Total Film
A tenaciously observed and a quietly absorbing ethnography about a pair of shepherds leading some 3,000 sheep on a 150-mile journey up into Montana's Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains for summer pasture.
Sukhdev Sandhu-Daily Telegraph
The images, including sheep on the move up near vertical hills, are remarkable, the landscape spectacular, the unsentimental account of back-breaking, backside-aching work impressive.
Philip French-Guardian [UK]
If Avatar was last year's best-looking film, 2011's award may well go to a documentary shot for small change concerning sheep. No, really.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
This beautiful and hypnotic documentary shows the agony and the ecstasy of herding sheep up into Montana's Beartooth mountains for the summer pasture.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
It would be foolish not to experience this film.
Dominic Radcliffe-Little White Lies
I have no doubt that, come the end of the year, Sweetgrass will be on the "10 Best" lists. It is that memorable for pictorial, cultural and even moral reasons.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
Sweetgrass is probably the definition of niche, but one dedicated to some of the highest ideals of film: it brings us information from a place we've never been, and with a rapturous innocence.
Antonia Quirke-Financial Times
The movie is decidedly no frills, and it both lives and dies by this strict adherence to its protocol.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
A documentary of uncommon elegance and abstract expression... What always impresses about the movie is its here-and-nowness.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
Sweetgrass is a film of record about the American West. It documents, pays tribute to a fast-fading way of life. You want 'True Grit?' This is it!
Jennifer Merin-About.com
Entertaining, despite its slow pace and general lack of dialogue and music. It is plain, but strong.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
An intoxicating audiovisual experience and a sprawling story that encompasses nothing less than the seasons, birth and death.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis
So I have to admit, the first few notes I took while watching the documentary "Sweetgrass" consisted of writing "Wow, that's a lot of sheep!" over and over again.
Rob Thomas-Wisconsin State Journal
Even viewers caught unaware of just how natural this documentary is could easily find themselves mesmerized by its unique charms.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever
The movie celebrates a particular lifestyle and it's an homage to a dying tradition -- a slice of history that's fascinating to witness.
