Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
kyounger 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!
pj brooks 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
maggieafranz Highway to Dhampus is a movie that isn't just watched; it's experienced. It's a story about human connection that defies what we think we know, and explores what it takes to forgive others and, more importantly, ourselves. With the striking countryside of Nepal as the backdrop, the beautiful cinematography only deepens the connection you feel to the characters, story, and the culture that slowly unfold as the movies plays on. The pace is perfect, and the story is one that will stay with you like an impressionable experience of your own.Highway to Dhampus is able to capture the perfect imperfections of life and relationships: The beauty that can come from tragedy, and that sometimes our biggest enemy is our own defensiveness. The scenery not only captures your attention, it takes a role in the narrative by reflecting the story. Just like the countryside of Nepal, even in its poverty, it seems that in the nooks and crannies of the unfairness of life, it's possible that beauty not only outweighs the unsightly, but its flaws may even contribute to the richness of its beauty.
brandon-purdie "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.
