Movie Reviews

Cincinnati Enquirer - 10/10 by Margaret A. McGurkKundun is original, moving, inspiring -- and one of the best movies of the year.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonKundun is a great movie, and it's one of the best of 1997.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesThis quiet, meditative gallery of pictures may be [Scorsese's] most radical, trangressive film in years.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - 10/10 by Jack GarnerKundun is sublime -- a timeless tale of commitment and compassion in a world sorely lacking in both. Don't pass it by.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumThroughout the film cause and effect, the mainspring of most narratives, is replaced by a sense of spiritual synchronicity.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonWhether Kundun is a perfect movie or not, it's an important and beautiful one. Scorsese's movie takes us into a world we've rarely seen with this kind of sympathy or detail: a magical-looking society built on Buddhism and centuries of art and tradition.
Film Quips Online - 9/10 by John R. McEwenAll in all, Kundun is beautifully produced and honestly acted.
TheMovieReport.com - 9/10 by Michael DequinaScorsese's rich tableau of image and music bears a potent emotional weight.
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY) - 9/10 by Judith EgertonScorsese skillfully indulges his propensity for obsessive detail. Visually, the direction is varied and exhilarating
Vice - 9/10 by Jason BaileyIt's not exactly 'Goodfellas.' But it's not every filmmaker who can create works as divergent as 'Goodfellas' and 'Kundun,' either.
