David Edelstein, Slate: The music ties together all the pretty pictures, gives the narrative some momentum, and helps to induce a kind of alert detachment, so that you're neither especially interested nor especially bored. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Careful and respectful, it is everything a movie about the Dalai Lama should be except dramatically involving. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Throughout the film cause and effect, the mainspring of most narratives, is replaced by a sense of spiritual synchronicity. Read more

Globe and Mail: A great film about a good man. Read more
David Denby, New York Magazine/Vulture: It's an extremely beautiful, boring movie. Read more
