If a film may do penance for its narrative faults with the grace of its visuals, Altiplano does so in dramatic fashion.

Co-collaborators Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth still cheapen their ethnological lyricism by over-stylizing the venture as if it were a Benetton ad by Alejandro Jodorowsky-lite.
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
