Yet his youthful rage and black magic brought death and destruction upon his own family. This is his story—a tale of vendetta, demons, murder, and redemption. (Shining Moon Pon Production)… Expand

    Those expecting a reflective Buddhist piece will be surprised. First-time director Neten Chokling's film actually is a powerful revenge drama.

    It's doubtful Milarepa will be opening in Beijing any time soon; all the more reason it deserves a look.

    Engages on a narrative level; however, Chokling’s direction fails to give the story any period texture or visceral emotion.

    Despite timely and worthwhile subject matter, there is nothing very inspired or inspiring in what makes it to the screen. Maybe they're saving all of that for the sequel, too.
