About
You’ll like Baraka if you enjoy moving, Earth-spanning visual journeys with no dialogue and plenty of mood, but Not for you if you need a traditional plot or prefer the more coherent pacing of Samsara or Koyaanisqatsi.
Pros: stunning global imagery; no dialogue; immersive music | Cons: can feel too long; some scenes disturbing; not everyone connects
