They are naturals at acting, not because they're good at lying but because they can't be phony.
88
Himalaya does for yak caravans what "Red River" did for cattle drives: it sees them as the stuff of epic conquest.
80
Captured extraordinary performances from a cast of non-actors, as well as magnificent images of a vast landscape.
75
A film of unusual visual beauty and enormous intrinsic interest.
67
It's the tortoise and the hare, Nepalese-style, and it's surprisingly dramatic.
63
Himalaya doesn't need a traditional story line to transport the viewer into another, fascinating world.
60
Somehow, in spite of the stunning vistas and some witty and affecting moments, the story seems to unfold at a distance; the human drama is diminished by the setting rather than amplified by it.

original, exotic and authentic; a true visual delight and a deeply moving story; one of the many sides of Nepal captured wonderfully on screen- HIMALAYA is one of the singular movies of our time.
