Critics' reviews

"A paralyzingly beautiful documentary with a global vision: an odyssey through landscape and time, which is an attempt to capture the essence of life."

TV Guide
"Words can't do justice to the visual masterpiece Baraka."

Variety Staff: Variety
"If man sends another Voyager to the distant stars and it can carry only one film on board, that film might be 'Baraka'" (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"You are left weighing the dense, stirring beauty of these images with the crushing banality of what's actually being expressed through them"

Mike McCahill: The Guardian
"While it's easy to look at these often beautiful moving postcards, Fricke presents locations without identifying them, so most viewers will quickly find themselves lost and overwhelmed."

David Parkinson: Radio Times
"Less than magical, Fricke's mystical tour quickly gets bogged down in its own self-proclaimed grandeur. An eco-stew. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Angie Errigo: Empire
"Any one sequence might work powerfully in its own right, but string them together with a musical overlay and the banality of the connections becomes apparent. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Trevor Johnston: Radio Times
