    Americans Will Love This Film

    With stunning applicability today, this film portrays a freedom- loving people and their amazing leader struggling nobly to survive Russian imperialism in the late 1800s. But that is not the primary reason for American audiences to appreciate this movie. Skillfully produced entirely in Kyrgyzstan by Kyrgyz filmmakers, it is a powerful, fascinating, gorgeous, and inspiring historical epic about an extraordinary woman—Kurmanjan Datka, Queen of the Mountains—who led the nomadic Kyrgyz people for decades with remarkable wisdom, character, and strength in the midst of great national and personal challenges. The story offers a deeply cultural and transcendently moving experience to every viewer of any nationality. As a leader, Kurmanjan Datka succeeded in ways unmatched by other Kyrgyz rulers, yet the problematic influences and results of her era in history leave the Kyrgyz people still seeking consistent foundational principles for peace, stability, unity, prosperity, and true freedom. This film brilliantly highlights both the leadership qualities and the unresolved questions that remain important to Kyrgyz people, and instructive to Americans, even today.

    Great movie

    Loved the film, it is versatile, deep, beautiful. Lovely acting and gorgeous landscapes. The movie shows the beauty of Kyrgyz land and the beauty of its nation. It is incredible what they have done in such a limited budget .The film is about love to your motherland, about love to each other , about unity , about dignity and courage , about sacrifice and choice , about role of woman in a history . Cried a lot ,it touches the deepest part of your heart, it makes you feel responsible and conscious .Special thanks to the composers, the music is gorgeous, it absolutely matches all the scenes and gives additional depth to the meaning. Kurmanjan Datka -is a great woman , who saves her nation from total destruction and made a great contribution to the development of her country.

    Best picture of Kyrgyz cinematography EVER

    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.

    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!

    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.
