With its sweeping images recorded in ultrahigh-def, Monsoon is a visual stunner - a visceral experience of India during monsoon season. Go to Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star 02/26/2015

We meet some interesting characters, including a bookie who takes bets on rain, and travel to fascinating destinations like "Place of the Clouds" at the base of the Himalaya Range, reportedly the world's rainiest spot. Go to Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie 06/07/2019
