Reception
A mixed review in the Salt Lake City Weekly ends on the following assessment: "While the absence of cliché is a good start, the presence of a stronger arc would make for a better ending."[3] The film received another mixed review, stating the opposite, i.e. that it starts too slowly but gets better in the part set in Nepal, and that, despite a few clichés, some of the actors's performances were heartwarming.[4]
