""Tulpan" is as enjoyable as its long list of festival prizes suggest, a portrait of a likeable, lovelorn dreamer set against the backdrop of the decline of traditional nomadic livestock farming on the steppes of Kazakhstan.....Dvotsevoy's interest in people who keep on keeping on in extremely adverse circumstances is well to the fore in "Tulpan", which keeps tragedy at bay with shafts of absurdist humour... "Tulpan" is fully-scripted and acted by professionals who are not steppe farmers in real life: a drama with a strong undertow of documentary , especially in the two extraordinary scenes in which the actors are require to be midwives to sheep in labour. It was clearly a hardship shoot" Tony Rayns Sight and Sound.
