100The first feature-length movie from Bhutan tells its lighthearted story through smart performances, appealing images, and unfailing good humor.
-
80A very funny movie, alive with a sense of absurdity and human foible.
-
80This sweet little movie is a mild comedy, a much calmer cousin to "Sister Act," with men in robes rather than women in habits.
-
60Though The Cup is lovely to look at, it has none of the ceremonial rigor mortis of Scorsese's "Kundun."
