Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Tenzin Chokyi Gyatso, Tenzin Jigme, and Jampa Kalsang

Set among the exile community in India, this exploration of the contemporary reality of Tibet has resonances beyond just the Tibetan experience; it touches upon the larger questions of cultural identity, dislocation and loss that are very much a part of today's post-modern world. (HanWay Films)

Variety Robert Koehler

A sensitive if literal-minded tale that demonstrates how Tibet's national identity is of a piece with its spiritual heart.

Boston Globe Ty Burr

It's a Tibetan film -- a rare thing -- made by Tibetans, starring Tibetans, and set in the increasingly desperate exile community of Dharamsala .

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

A static and awkward effort that never quite comes to life.

50

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Bill White

The script is undone by confusing romantic developments, a convoluted murder mystery and a facile and maudlin resolution.

Village Voice Ed Gonzalez

Primped for easy American consumption, this clunkily performed and staged drama concerns a filmmaker's agenda to document Tibetan oppression under Chinese occupation. This becomes spurious pretext for a rather flat Nancy Drew adventure.

The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz

A fine example of how feature films can be used to deliver urgent political messages, but as drama, it doesn’t quite work.

Film Threat Phil Hall

A minor and forgettable bore.
