Reviews
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Love the cinematography, love the music, love the story, and the beautiful Nepali people! What a beautifully shot film that took me on a journey of love, charity, change, and kindness! If you like independent films, watch this one! I've already watched it 5 times. :) I still can't get over the cinematography!
HIGHWAY TO DHAMPUS is a beautiful narrative about personal transformation. The characters come from a variety of backgrounds and their motivations are influenced by these backgrounds, but in the end redemption comes to each through choosing to be vulnerable, assimilating the past, and choosing to be better in the future. I found myself being introspective and understanding how I can be better based on what I experienced in those 100 minutes. Set in Nepal, the cinematography is breathtaking and vibrant. It was so stunning at times I felt like the landscape was the hero of the scene.I recommend this film!
Highway to Dhampus, the English-Nepalese film, is a special film and a one to experience. Quiet, yet teeming with emotion and pathos... It's really the complete package: Super music, great scenery and well-acted by a cast of beautiful and sensitive actors, mostly unknown to me. The children in this film are the most natural and entertaining actors I've seen in a while. I was fortunate enough to catch this movie at The Rubin Museum of Art but It's definitely a film I'd like to see again and hope it will come to New York theaters. Starring: Rachel Hurd-Wood, Gunner Wright, Suesha Rana, Raj Ballav Koirala, Deshbhakta Khanal, Sayush Gurung Bajracharya, Sophie McShera, Vinzenz Kiefer, Masha Tokareva, Sunil Shrestha
"Highway to Dhampus" is an inspiring film. "Highway to Dhampus" is a beautifully shot film that truly belongs on the big screen. The cinematography is breath-taking, and it makes you feel as if you are in Nepal watching this story unfold before your very eyes. All of the powerful cast members gave noteworthy spectacular performances, but Nepal itself stole the show with a breathtaking performance. A powerful performance made even more moving with the resent devastation cause by the Nepal earthquakes. This film takes you on a journey of a beautiful country that all should experience. A beautifully written, directed, and shot film crafted together by Rick McFarland.
