Reviews

The film magazine Cinema judged: “'Sirga, the lioness' avoids the penetrating sweetness through naturalness and poetry, which often raises the sugar level of the parents dangerously in the films of the brand 'Children with animal friends'. The saying 'for the whole family' really hits the spot here. "

The lexicon of international films came to a similar conclusion : “A film told in beautiful pictures and with a calm rhythm that conjures up harmony between humans and animals. In favor of this unspectacular 'naturalness', the story is poetically exaggerated rather than dramatically exaggerated. "
