Valli's cameras capture one breathtaking image after another.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
27 Sep 2001
fresh:
Himalaya is a film about choices, pride and forgiveness, filled with memorable characters and stunning scenery. And if you like yaks, this is the film for you.
– Jennie Punter,
Toronto Star,
10 Aug 2001
fresh:
High above the tree line, Tinle, Karma and Norbu act out a universal human drama with only two special effects -- a blinking star and a yak.
– Jane Sumner,
Dallas Morning News,
9 Aug 2001
rotten:

– Chris Fujiwara,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
A visually poetic, moving story.
