这部完全被遗忘了，可是和诱僧一起提了金狮诶。刘苗苗是个蛮不一样的第五代，乡土经验的具体可感可以独立成章，土到掉渣的同时又有通灵和完全感性而不可控的部分，比如杂嘴子决定不说话的那个前夜。然而这种灵光乍现往往就被张艺谋甚至田壮壮处理为“诗意”的点睛之笔了，刘苗苗却明显无心逗留，真是有趣。
20181216le。太沉重了，在那片莽原上，似乎又是那么普通，死亡和父权的缺失，让儿童早早成人。许多东西都点到了，但是还不够。刘苗苗导演的片子第一次看，感觉真是挺第五代的。虽是儿童制片厂摄制，但片子是严肃的、成人向的。3.5
VCD無字幕版。之前看了劉苗苗的新作《紅花綠葉》，感覺跟這片傳遞的命運無常是相通的。片子的技術還蠻好的。
小时侯在电视上看的乡腔。西北小孩子独有的蹶劲。雪地里扯开了喉咙的哭。记忆犹新。
