This was one of my favorite movies. I was 14 when it came out, and I watched it over, and over, and over again!! There's not much to it, but it was exactly that, the "sweet simplicity" of the fairy tale type storyline that I loved, and still love. Back then I didn't even know who Milla was...I just thought she was so cool after I saw this film. Plus you have to admit, the scenery is pretty amazing. In fact it was after watching that I became very interested in traveling to India one day. Perhaps even riding that same train line through the mountains to Kathmandu. The only disappointing thing I find, is that it only exists on VHS. I only have a DVD player!! I guess it's just not popular enough to make putting it on DVD worthwhile. Well, even though it's not an incredible hit of a movie, I would still recommend it as a good wholesome family film!

The movie would be better without the acting and 'plot,' but the photography was spectacular. absolutely terribly bad. Thankfully it's not too long - but the plot which is supposed to be mysterious is weak, with mediocre acting - not convincing in the least bit. The incredible scenery is the only redeeming feature of this movie. probably the worst movie I have EVER seen - cheesy plot turns and a predictably boring romance make this movie corny and tacky. not worth an hour of anyone's time ever. If you are really interested in Nepalese history and don't mind bad acting and no plot then this movie is great. otherwise. . . . I would rate this a 1 out of ten.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen this movie. The pieces of it that I still remember were good enough that I'm thinking of buying it. It's time to see it again and re-live the magic.

I have just seen the movie on TV. I planned to watch it just to see how Milla looked when she was young. But Milla's eyes ain't the only thing worth seeing in that movie. The story is quite nice, and the Himalayas panoramas and Nepal views are really fantastic. "I'll miss Nepal everyday in my life, until I come back here..." :)
