| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookThis beautiful, gentle film will take you on a journey you will remember. |
| Salt Lake City WeeklyScott RenshawWhile the absence of cliché is a good start, the presence of a stronger arc would make for a better ending. |
| User ReviewKatie YIf you like independent films, watch this one! What a beautifully shot film and a beautiful story. Can't wait to watch again! |
| User ReviewColby BAfter seeing Highway to Dhampus and having a Q&A with the director himself, it was clear to me that the work was made with a lot of care, but in my opinion it lacked a lot of the strengths of a powerful drama. Coupled with clunky dialogue, we see the story that supposedly tries to make us "feel" something, but to no avail. Stale acting, and poor dialogue make this film difficult to watch. There are moments of nice cinematography, but I feel as if those were almost always used in transitionary moments. It is admirable that Nepalese people were used in this film, and that locations were interesting, but I feel as if the film did not reach the potential that it had. |
