What are critics saying?
Chicago Reader by Andrea Gronvall
This is well staged and photographed, with stirring aerial images and balletic pans and dolly shots, but the story is muddled by the arrival of a free-spirited girl and her musician pals, 60s-style longhairs battling a government conspiracy.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Even when their picture wanders from any reasonable path, it's never less than stunning to look at.
The film's leisurely pace and abstract format isn't meant for the multiplex crowd, but rather for adventurous moviegoers. It took guts to make Khadak and to give it a theatrical release. It might take even more guts to seek it out.
