Reception

Nevestka has been called "the film that put Turkmen film on the map". [1] Mira Liehm and Antonín J. Liehm note its "strong cinematic feeling for local settings". [2] Michael Rouland calls it a "representation of Turkmen life at the edge of the desert during World War Two", writing that it "engages a rich genre in Soviet film: the tragedy of lives left on the home front while loved ones sacrificed their lives on the battlefront. Bridging the vast territorial and cultural spaces of the Soviet Union, the sacrifice of war and its suffering was a common theme of Soviet film". [3]
