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!

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!

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.
