Top CriticMilarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint, a picturesque fable filmed in the mountains of northern India, shows us how most -- if not all -- roads to spiritual enlightenment are paved with suffering.

Top CriticDespite timely and worthwhile subject matter, there is nothing very inspired or inspiring in what makes it to the screen.

Top CriticWhile the drama is rather poky, Jamyang Lordo plays the part with dignified restraint.
