This is the best movie I have seen so far this year, together with 'Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom'.
One is sucked in with the story of the desperate young mother. It's a timeless movie. The two main characters do an excellent job and seem to come from another world, a fairytale world that seems real. The beautiful music and the splendid scenery are two big assets, that complete the dream world. In the small hall of the small cinema everyone sat full of admiration till the last letters of the final credits were gone.

While the movie could have calmed down on the shaky cam, it is still a competently crafted film with beautiful scenery, solid acting and good story.
The film also does an excellent job with lightning and sound design, and succeeded attempting to create a realistic and subtle feel.
