Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The music ties together all the pretty pictures, gives the narrative some momentum, and helps to induce a kind of alert detachment, so that you're neither especially interested nor especially bored.

rotten:
Scorsese has taken the harsh mystery out of Tibetan Buddhism, and out of its oppression, too.
– Owen Gleiberman,
Entertainment Weekly,
1 Feb 2010
fresh:
Disregarding commercial considerations, Scorsese's haunting meditation on Dalai Lama's early life is a majestic spectacle of images and sounds, but it's bogged down by a routine script that fails to offer fresh insights on Tibet's non-violent culture
– Emanuel Levy,
Variety,
20 Dec 2006
rotten:
Careful and respectful, it is everything a movie about the Dalai Lama should be except dramatically involving.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
I admire Kundun for being so unreservedly committed to its vision, for being willing to cut loose from audience expectations and follow its heart.
