Aroview: Not to be accused this time of repeating himself, the venerable Martin Scorsese clambers the Tibetan plateau for this unique biopic of the Dalai Lama.

Unequipped with big-name stars or the most well-known subject, his examination of this extraordinary figure attempts to imagine life on 'Buddhist-time' with brilliant unfolding patterns of visual imagery and a Philip Glass score.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) I don't think the screenplay can be relied upon for all its historical aspects but the production is of a high quality. ~Tubbs
