Siddhant Adlakha Variety At two-and-a-half hours in length, the film’s meticulous unfurling ends up spread across alternating peaks and valleys of interest and emotional allure, rendering its careful compositions only semi-affecting. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International At once a spiritual odyssey and a more concrete journey of female self-determination, this is a visually magnificent slow-burner filmed high in the Himalayas, with a quietly magnetic central performance from Thinley Lhamo... Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Pema’s almost sitcomish relationship with Karma is contrasted with her sexy, romantic connection to Tashi. The Dawa character is simply annoying...There are merciful comic moments, but Shambhala is mostly a very serious and slow sit. The payoff is muted. Rated: C+ Dec 19, 2024 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews A recently pregnant woman leaves her village to find her husband in Shambhala, Min Bahadur Bham’s evocative, beautiful, but overly long drama. Rated: 3/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Dhruv Goyal In Review Online It wants to achieve transcendence through its slow cinema aesthetics, but it’s too conventionally narrativized to do so. Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy A meditative experience, nestled within a feminist narrative that explores the interplay of individual agency and societal prejudices in a community bound by rigorous traditions.
