Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion Reviews

For an overview about the current situation in Tibet it's tough to beat Tom Peosay's documentary

| Original Score: A | Mar 7, 2007

preaches to the converted, but it preaches well and may serve to inspire more people to take action on behalf of Tibet

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 17, 2004

This incredible documentary, so excellently crafted, is both moving and informative.

| Original Score: A+ | Oct 15, 2004

A compelling story that it should not be missed. The photography of Tibet is as gorgeous as the footage and stories of Chinese atrocities are disturbing.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 26, 2004

It is pretty convincing in its argument that China has every intention of destroying the culture of Tibetans.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 17, 2004

As objective as any film on the subject can possibly be, Tibet was reportedly made over the course of a decade, sustained by a passion and dedication on the part of its makers that resonates in every frame of this gripping, heartbreaking odyssey.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 23, 2004

If you've attended a Beastie Boys concert and picked up some free literature, chances are a substantial amount of this information is already known to you.

Harrowing and illuminating.

Despite its undeniably moving, and enlightening, moments, the film eventually tips into pedagogy.

Simultaneously horrifying and transporting.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 9, 2004

Makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of a people that the world must never be allowed to forget, no matter how much their oppressors would prefer us to do just that.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2004

A passionate work of advocacy documentary.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 8, 2004

As a film, the technique barely serves the well-intentioned motivation behind it: the exposure of unprincipled subjugation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2004

Peosay does a remarkably good job providing the historical and political context for the China-Tibet struggle, something that often seems missing from "Free Tibet" rhetoric.

Haunting documentary.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 5, 2004

A sobering examination of a land in turmoil and a people that have faced what former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Jeanne Kirkpatrick cites as 20 years of ethnic cleansing.

So thorough is the cinematic journalism that you'll swiftly forget what a challenge it must have been to document or simulate all of the key moments in a story that spans thousands of years of history.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 27, 2004

...a damning indictment of one of the world's dirtiest open secrets.

| Feb 24, 2004

Each revelation seems more disturbing than the next.
