    Inspiring story about a female leader from 19th century Central Asia

    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.

    Beyond Impressed!

    I am beyond impressed. There comes a movie from time to time and you say: Wow! This is one of them! I have watched Kurmanjan Datka several times now and every time I was totally riveted to the screen. This movie is a sweeping epic, wonderfully crafted. Great Cast. A master Director - through and through. Poetic, breathtaking, lyrical, exciting, touching.... and you discover history of a magical Country that is to me synonymous with the Silk Road! I hope and pray that Kurmanjan Datka finds it's way to as many Theaters around the World as it deserves. Bravo Mr. Sadyk Sher-Niyaz, Farkhad Bekmanbetov and the rest of the Cast & Crew - thank you for the Dream!

    Rewiew

    Since my childhood my father has always told me interesting and true stories about our "Kyrgyz" nationality, and especially about my ancestors Alymbek Datka and his wife Kurmanjan Datka who really made a contribution in saving lives of people in Alai(south part of Kyrgyz Republic) I m really thankful for this film, no regrets that I went n watch it.It was not easy for me to watch it, difficult moments in their life:( very sad moments.this a true story. The actors played great! The beautiful nature which is shown in the film is the reality of our country. You did a great job!!! I am really proud of my grandfather and grandmother, who really thought about the future of our nation and made everything possible to protect them. I wish this is the beginning of success of Kyrgyz cinema.

    Must see

    I think this is the best film ever made in Kyrgyzstan. I was fortunate enough to get an invitation for the premier. Excellent work !!! I was the victim of the Stand-Ovation after the movie. This movie inspires, I was crying and I wasn't shy. Great cast of artists and the whole team, amazing storyline and plot, special thanks to the sound-effects. This movie is about love, pride, and fight for independence. It takes your breath from the first scene, and makes you feel like in a different world. I would also like to show my admiration to the director of this movie, who truly made a masterpiece. Considering a very low budget for the movie, where for the same budget you could only provide sandwiches in the Hollywood's movie production, I have to say the director made a miracle. I call it a Miracle in the movie industry nowadays.

    Unexpectedly, i loved it

    Today I have finally watched "Kurmanjan Datka". I accompanied my grandma to the cinema, who wanted to watch the movie that was on everyone's lips. I must confess - I had been skeptical about it, despite the numerous admiring reviews of my friends and buddies. To my great embarrassment, I doubted if we had good directors and actors in the country. I am sorry for this. Unexpectedly I loved the film. The idea, plot, actors, acting, directing, scenery - everything was wonderful. I would like to thank the director, actors and producers for such a pleasure! The views of our mountains are marvelous! And I must note that all actors were very pleasant and genuine, I didn't expect that we have so many talented actors in Kyrgyzstan! Most of all I liked symbols in the film and attention to details - peculiar, national, authentic. Great job! That's the stuff!
