I rated the movie a 4 out of 5. It was definitely an interesting story to begin with. Paralleling the life of a “goddess” with the world around her that is beginning to fall apart. Yet, it just turned out slow, and the juxtoposition wasn’t as clear as it could have been. It shows the life of the girl. It shows the Nepalis protesting. Interesting, but there just aren’t enough details or substance to make it profound. Still worth watching for a few minutes to get the idea. Recommended titles like this one:
