影評：
• 「琵亞芭蘇倫戴娃拍出一部影像絕美的劇情片，描述蒙古的儀式和傳統如何受到威脅。[…] 《在世界看見山谷》是一部既私密又影響深遠的片子，以誠摯為出發點，喚起真正的同理心。」（衛報）
• 「從Amra的視角來描述大部分的故事內容是個聰明之舉，由他帶領觀眾，從天真無辜的角度看到土地及人民如何受到剝削而瀕臨災害。演員皆表現出色，飾演Amra的巴特伊瑞度巴特姆克更值得特別讚許，他在童趣和成熟之間找到了平衡的演出方式。」（Asian Movie Pulse）
• 「《在世界看見山谷》再次展示藝術電影的潛力，本片雖與主流電影有著明顯的文化和地理差距，但展現了敘事的力量，並真實呈現人類境況的立即性和重要性。琵亞芭蘇倫戴娃拍出一部具有強烈情感力量的電影，反映出她對兒童心理學的深刻理解。」（Sentieriselvaggi.it）
• 「這部電影既暖心又令人痛心，也傳達了反對盲目開發土地和破壞自然環境的強烈訊息。本片有如蒙古版《阿凡達》，我完全沈迷在故事裡。」（Kulturissima.com）
• 「琵亞芭蘇倫戴娃總是能拍出絕美的影像，早在《駱駝駱駝別哭泣》她就將拍片技巧鍛鍊到極致，此外，她也與攝影師塔拉庫里共同設計鏡頭，拍出寫實的游牧民族生活。全景搖攝和長鏡頭將蒙古草原的獨特美景一覽無遺，是影片的一大特色。」（Filmdienst.de）
• 這是一部引人入勝、編劇出色、表演精彩的電影。衝突在整部片裡不斷醞釀，最後發展成驚人的結局。令人嘆為觀止的風景和攝影。它超越了刻板的紀實風格，是一部十分優美的電影。（2021年加拿大R2R青少年國際電影節評審團聲明）

Synopsis
Amra’s father Erdene is the leader of the last nomads opposing global mining companies digging for gold in the Mongolian steppe. After his father dies in a tragic car accident, Amra sets out to continue the fight in his father's spirit – but with the tools of an 11-year-old boy.
In a province in the middle of the Mongolian steppe, 11-year old Amra lives a traditional nomad life with his mother Zaya, father Erdene and little sister Altaa. While Zaya takes care of the flock, Erdene works as a mechanic and sells Zaya's homemade cheese at the local market. Their peaceful routine is threatened by the encroachment of international mining companies, digging for gold and devastating the natural habitat. Erdene is the leader of the last nomads opposing them, and tries to unite and convince his comrades not to accept the compensations the companies have offered. But after Amra's father dies in a tragic car accident, his mother wants to give up the nomad life and trade the steppe for the city. But Amra refuses and tries to carry on his father's David vs. Goliath fight with his cleverness and the tools of an 11-year-old boy.

Reviews:
• “Byambasuren Davaa’s gorgeous-looking drama examines the rituals and traditions of Mongolia as their very existence comes under threat. […] Veins of the World is intimate and sweeping all at once, and has at its core a sincerity that invites genuine empathy.” The Guardian
• “Choosing Amra’s perspective to tell the majority of the story is a clever move, adding a child-like innocence to the narrative endangered by the exploitation of the land and its people. Although all cast members do a fantastic job, Bat-Irredui Batmunkh as Amra deserves special credit as he manages the balance between innocence, drama and becoming an adult.” Asian Movie Pulse
• "Veins of the World once again demonstrates the potential of arthouse film that, despite the apparent cultural and geographic gap to mainstream cinema, knows how to demonstrate the strength of a narrative, the need to express a human condition, immediately and without pretense. Byambasuren Davaa helms a film with a strong emotional impact, which reflects a careful knowledge of child psychology." Sentieriselvaggi
• “This movie is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, it also comes with a powerful message against the mindless exploitation of land and destruction of natural environments. It’s like an encapsulated, Mongolian Avatar. Time flew by and I was completely invested in the story.” Kulturissima
• “Davaa can rely on her exquisite imagery. She has long had the appropriate cinematic means, which she already perfected in "The Story of the Weeping Camel". In addition, she is at hand for the picture design by Talal Khoury, whose pictures of the life of the nomads reinforce the realistic impression. Panoramic pans and long-distance shots that bring the peculiar beauty of the Mongolian steppe to life are part of the film‘s repertoire.“ Filmdienst
• This was captivating, wonderfully written and well performed film. There’s a moving conflict that builds throughout the film and grows to an amazing ending. Breathtaking landscapes and cinematography. It moves beyond stereotypical documentation and instead delivers an overall beautiful film. Jury statement, Reel 2 Real International Festival for Youth, Canada 2021
• … arresting portrait of nomadic life…Byambasuren Davaa’s gorgeous-looking drama examines the rituals and traditions of Mongolia as their very existence comes under threat.
• ‘Intimate and sweeping all at once’ … Veins of the World
