Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/26/2007
Part history lesson and part profile, the film presents a concise, cogent account of recent Tibetan history as well as an engrossing onscreen conversation with one of the world's great spiritual leaders. Go to Full Review Jennie Punter Globe and Mail 10/26/2007

04/15/2016 good & moving bio-doc See more 09/30/2015 Wonderful for content, but probably slow for many, especially the young See more 04/24/2015 A great introduction to the Dalai Lama and Buddhism in general! See more Caz M @CazMartino 08/14/2014 The movie touches on the subject of how the Tibetans were exiled. Which isnt new info but I guess its good to cover it. The 10 questions weren't the best questions to ask in my opinion. The only thing I took from this movie was how the Dalai Lama doesn't like the traditional rituals, his ability to laugh at most things, how he is a rebel in his own little way when it comes to rituals, and little things like that. Also... he sounds like Yoda. See more 11/26/2012 A fine overview of the life of the Dali Lama from childhood through exile from Tibet to present day. The 10 questions seemed earnest but safe. See more 01/24/2012 An excellent insight into the expressions of the Dalai Lama. See more Read all reviews
