Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom

"Lunana proceeds with a slow, steady flow that complements the modest charms of its familiar fish-out-of-water narrative."

"The film basks in a... mood of mild-mannered contentment."

"As warming as hot soup on a frosty winter’s day..."

"It struck a nimble balance between... low-key humour and life-affirming drama."

"The director crafts a crowd-pleaser in stunning, mostly unseen locations whose charms weather even its most idealistically patriotic and overly saccharine notes."

"The film’s messages about the pursuit of happiness and valuing the people, creatures and places around you never sound preachy or didactic."

"(An) assured and delight-filled first feature..."

"(This) easygoing tale does the good things well, but it also knows what not to do."

"It's intensely pleasing, every foot of the way."
