Leave your thoughts about Wheel of Time.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatExtraordinary documentary on two Buddhist rituals that bring out thousands to meditate and to express their devotion. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullWheel of Time lacks the intensity of many of Herzog's works, and the meditative nature of the monks is a strange match for the wildness of Herzog. |
| VarietyLeslie FelperinTaken strictly as a docu about a key Buddhist ritual, Wheel of Time is a perfectly pleasant, educational film, featuring pretty pictures, exotic locations and interview footage with the Dalai Lama himself. As a Werner Herzog film, it's flat and disappointing. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAs always, Herzog comes up with some unique and often ridiculous human behavior in the midst of all this peace and tolerance. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoTaking a low-key approach, Herzog captures the pilgrims' intense fervor. The sight of 500,000 people united in prayer is mind-blowing. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAwe-inspiring for those of all faiths who sincerely hope that this world can be a peaceful one. |
| TV GuideKen FoxA recent string of excellent nonfiction features now comprise an exciting new phase in this always adventurous director's career. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaWheel of Time is flawed because Herzog attempts to illustrate faith through the exercise of faithfulness. He runs after the poetry of Buddhism and it eludes him. |
| NewsdayJan Stuart[Herzog] knows instinctively when to linger and when it's time to turn away. |
| User ReviewAnu CReally touching documentary about Buddhism in India. Nice photography and very deep. |
