A good documentary, especially in the sense of how well it is filmed. The environment, which is rather unfamiliar to most of us, is filmed here with beautiful cinematography, with some truly breathtaking shots. And yet it's still primarily a film about one girl and her life. That's definitely not the life you have. A beautiful exploration of another place and world.

51st KVIFF - yeah, an OK documentary with beautiful cinematography and eye-candy landscapes, but the lives of Mongolian falconers is perhaps too distant to really excite or move me very much. Daisy Ridley’s narration was a bit too much. But yeah, it’s nice. 7/10
