Joe Leydon

Variety

Tibetan filmmaker Pema Tseden neatly balances deadpan wit and understated mysticism in an idiosyncratic road movie.

Stylistic flourishes don't communicate much beyond a generic art-house sensibility.

Hollywood Reporter

An intriguing if austere arthouse item that should please lovers of slow cinema with a more mystical edge.

Jinpa is more a film to be experienced for the sensation that the images offer the viewer than it is a narrative feature to be enjoyed for the comprehensive nature of its plot.

Ultimately, and despite a great amount of charm, this first half does not feel the sum of its parts.

Rated: 5/10
