Baraka Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is claimed that the great age of travel is dead - that there are no longer amazing, exotic, beautiful and fearsome places for the traveler to discover. A movie like Baraka gives hope.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
The form is ravishing, though the content suffers by comparison.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Among the most overwhelmingly gorgeous films ever made.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Anita Schmaltz
[It] begins like a National Geographic tour....a vacation from dialogue and narrative, traveling strictly on imagery... [but]Baraka gets old before the 93 minutes are up.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
images [and juxtapositions] in BARAKA . . provoke speculation about our place in the cosmos
Chicago Reader
Fred Camper
The film's one-world thesis is asserted but never made convincing, as Fricke zigzags from the Western Wall to whirling dervishes to the Grand Mosque of Mecca in a superficial gloss on faith (and everything else).
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Nothing in this epic visual poem is less than extraordinary.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Sweeping, jarring and mesmerizing -- not to mention mind-blowing, if I may indulge a '60s phrase.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
will appeal greatly to any children of the sixties ... who believe in the common unity of mankind and how we all seek the same universal source'
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Baraka's major strength is its realization that life happens all over the world and not just in America.
Filmcritic.com
Kevin Smokler
This is a film that gazes with such awe at the mystery of life on earth that it seems almost childlike and yet does it in a way so purely cinematic that it can only come from the hands of a wizened master.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Extraordinary non-narrative film that enables us to see with our eyes and feel in our flesh that the healing of self and the healing of the planet and inextricably linked.
