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

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
Rotten
Valli's touch as an artist is too light, and his dramatic sense too timid, to make the film much more than a collection of pretty pictures.
Chris Fujiwara, Boston Globe
Fresh
A visually poetic, moving story.
