It is hardly the most original story, but Kapadia, the British-born son of Indian immigrants, infuses it so much with stately resonance and spiritual reverence, that it never seems remotely shopworn, much less laborious.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Long before the end, it takes on the quality of a wise fable and reveals itself as an enriching experience.
If you can forgive its lapses in storytelling and character development, then Kapadia's 2001 feature filmmaking debut delivers, at minimum, an impressive visual account of a worthwhile spiritual journey.
A film for moviegoers who love powerful stories and ravishing imagery.
There's a pinch of Akira Kurosawa, a sprinkle of Clint Eastwood, and heaps of originality in this.
