Deutsch Karel Kachyňa und Alena Mihulová, das hat damals einfach einen Sinn gemacht. The Cow ist ein ausgezeichnetes Zeitdrama, das eine perfekte Story, melancholische Stimmung und schauspielerische Kunst, die nicht so schnell in Vergessenheit gerät, bietet. Für das Jahr 1992 ist es definitiv ein Film, der die Aufmerksamkeit von denjenigen verdient, die ein tschechisches Werk von guter Qualität schätzen wissen. ()

Englisch Kachyňa knew as well as anyone how to make the best quality film out of the minimum. With this I don’t want to downplay, for example, Hapek's music, which, by the way, is an ornament of the narrative, but to tell a plot so poor in props, twists or secondary characters with such voluminous poetry and atmosphere requires a skill almost unprecedented in Hollywood. It doesn’t have many really strong emotional moments, but The Cow sings an ode to the beauty and purity of image in almost every shot, just as Holub and Mihulová sing about simple and natural acting.
