Aug 17, 2020 I watched this because it is a product of the same Sensory Ethnography Lab that produced Leviathan. I know the comparison is unfair, but this is no Leviathan. The most interesting camerawork is focused on the sheep, and some of it is genuinely great. The film is more banal when it focuses on the cowboys, but perhaps that's the point. There is one cursing tirade that almost makes up for all that though. See more Sep 30, 2016 You know, for a documentary with no voiceover about sheep farming in Montana, it's not bad... See more May 26, 2016 Much of the first part of the film is dialogue free, but the stunning scenery throughout means this matters little, the story of sheep-sherding doesn't sound that interesting, but it is a fascinating window on the world. See more Mar 16, 2016 Beautiful landscapes and the white ocean of bleating sheep make this an addictive one See more Jul 29, 2015 Very good, UNTIL the herder smacks his horse on the Face!! OMG, what a macho, abusive loser!! See more Apr 20, 2015 Amazing. A bunch of cowboys (sheepboys?) take hundreds of sheep up to the tops of the Beartooth Mountains for summer pasture, for the very last time, in 2003. Beautifully filmed and edited, the tale tells itself with no externals such as narration or music. They have a really hard time, then drive those sheep back down the mountains in the autumn. Thoroughly absorbing. Shown on Film 4 some months ago. See more Read all reviews
