Leave your thoughts about The Last Dalai Lama?.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubThe more an audience member sees the beauty left in the Buddhist leader’s wake, the more it becomes clear that his influence has the power to continue generations beyond his passing. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThe question mark at the end of the title becomes the most salient issue that the film considers, but don’t expect the Dalai Lama to provide a simplistic resolution. Although as warm and compassionate as ever, his quiet wisdom reminds us that there are still some mysteries that most of us remain unprepared to contemplate. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe thing you want from a documentary about his holiness the 14th Dalai Lama is the chance to get right up close to him, in the way that movies can do. You want the chance to bask in his presence and come out with a heightened sense of what he’s about. The Last Dalai Lama? accomplishes that, and with an offhand eloquence, though it’s a sketchy, catch-as-catch-can movie. |
| The New York TimesHelen T. VerongosA surplus of wisdom and benevolence radiates from The Last Dalai Lama?. |
| Film ThreatBradley GibsonLemle's exceptional film frames the life of the Dalai Lama, his Buddhist spiritual journey, and the future of Tibet in terms of the political situation in China and explains how this might play out. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleUnfortunately, the director’s breezy approach doesn’t always make for a captivating viewing experience. |
