Cath Clarke Guardian There is a lot of charm to this film... Rated: 3/5 Nov 15, 2021 Full Review Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter The characters keep us engaged, and Sulima, who doubled as cinematographer, achieves startling and frightening sequences throughout the journey. Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) This project might easily strike you as more trouble than it's worth. The scenery is beautiful, though, and the final scenes are quite touching. Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2021 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A beautifully shot documentary which documents a heroic quest to bring music to a remote outpost. Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Janet Smith Georgia Straight The result is a breathtakingly shot journey where the piano seems in constant peril. Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Steven Neish HeyUGuys A compelling documentary about the absurd ends people will go to. It is a fun watch, if a little unsatisfactory at the end, Rated: 4/5 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Joe M I randomly turned on the tv and this caught my eye. And then it captured me. Brilliant film covering much bigger topics than simply the obvious adventure. Imagine a world without money. Start there…. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful film, moving, heart-warming, (heart in mouth for a few seconds!) beautiful, can't praise it enough. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I'd like to see it. How? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this movie at the Banff International Film Festival and it was incredible. It really touched my heart and and inspired me . I 100% recommend watching this great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review julia p Documentary... Eccentric London piano tuner decides to deliver piano to Zanskar, and the journey involves travelling over Indian mountain range with average height of 20,000 ft. As you can imagine not all goes to plan. Beautiful and amazing scenery. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I have to say, this completely exceeded my expectations. It was so much more funny, moving, and human than what I'd anticipated would be a rather dry and procedural story. It was up for an audience choice award at the film festival where I saw it, and I decided to give it 5/5 stars for several reasons: the beautiful scenery and effective cinematography, the compelling story, the humor and respect for all involved, and the sheer effort it must have taken to physically (and emotionally) make it happen. I would strongly recommend it to just about anybody! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
