U.S. Press "A marvelously acted, brave and absorbing film. Catch it whenever and wherever you can." CRITIC'S PICK! "Beautiful and mysterious... Brosens and Woodworth have a powerful visual style to match their arty ambitions." "Gorgeous...Khadak is a trippy spectacle." - *** (3/4) "Charming...beautifully filmed and energetically acted." - *** (3/4) "Directors Peter Brossens and Jessica Woodworth create startling, deliberate imagery that's almost too voluptuous." "You'll be spellbound ...it's never less than stunning to look at." - "A highly imaginative film, beautifully scored and well-acted." **** (4/6) "Largely forsaking Western-style linearity for a more visionary mode, Khadak doesn't so much depict the trauma of displacement as embody it, channeling its political rage into stark, frontal compositions and jarring formal breaks, including a dissonant music-video number. Ultimately less concerned with individuals than with the land itself, the film captures the icy vastness of the Mongolian steppes with a surreal grandeur that occasionally recalls Werner Herzog." - "A gorgeous panoply of natural wonders and far-flung mysticism, Khadak is a unique adventure. " - *** (3/4) "Khadak is striking, even breathtaking...it gorgeously recalls Fellini." "Its riches are there to be discovered, admired, and often loved." - "Brosens and Woodworth understand the power of striking images...this is certainly wonderful to look at." - "Well staged and photographed, with stirring aerial images." -
