Rating: 2.5/4 -- Even when their picture wanders from any reasonable path, it's never less than stunning to look at. Full Review

Cinematography aficionados will be enthralled. Unfortunately, Khadak also has a story to tell, and does so in very slow and baffling ways, especially in a second half chock-full of muddled, exhausting symbolism. Full Review

For sheer visual excitement, it's difficult to top Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth's film Khadak. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It gorgeously recalls Fellini and Koyaanisqatsi and hauntingly pits ancient tradition against science, oppression and industrial rot. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Sundance and Toronto Festival Hit KHADAK is a magical-realist fable that tells the epic story of Bagi, a young nomad shepherd who confronts his destiny to become a shaman. After a plague strikes their herd, Bagi and his family are relocated to a mining town. There, he saves the life of Zolzaya, a beautiful performer/coal thief. When Bagi discovers that the plague was a government lie fabricated to eradicate nomadic life, he and Zolzaya incite a revolution. Bagi's shaman powers help rally his people, but will they ever be able to return to their former lives?
