It may be destined to become the definitive film on The Dalai Lama.
10/26/07
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.
10/26/07
Top Critic10 Questions works extremely well as an introduction to the Dalai Lama and offers a tantalizing peek at the dynamic and even mischievous personality of this influential man.
10/26/07
Top Critic[Ray's] particular interest in Asia serves him well as he explores the Dalai Lama’s world.
10/12/07
“10 Questions for the Dalai Lama” is a tedious title for an anything-but-tedious film that expertly merges the mystical and the mundane.
08/31/07
Top CriticThe 11th question would be: Does a TV-grade travelogue followed by a halfway-decent Q&A warrant a theatrical release?
08/28/07
Top CriticThere have been several documentaries about the Dalai Lama, but few have done a better job of packaging the Tibetan religious leader's circumstances, both historical and current, along with his philosophies, than 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama.
07/30/07
Top Critic[Director] Ray interjects observations about his own travels like a backup musician who thinks he's the frontman. A little less cowbell, please.
07/19/07
The film never rises above the spiritual or intellectual level of a TV news anchor. It is a dispiriting film to watch, if you have any real interest in the subject.

Top CriticOne comes away from 10 Questions emboldened, energized, and sadder -- aware that peace remains so radical a concept that most of us aren't yet worthy of it.
06/22/07
Top CriticA nicely crafted, economic (it's only 85 minutes) introduction to that most eminent of men, the spiritual leader and deposed head of state of Tibet.
06/21/07
Top CriticA slam-dunk for history classes -- informative and challenging, touching on issues of free speech, modernity, democracy, and globalism.
