Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Harrowing and illuminating.
L.A. Weekly
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Despite its undeniably moving, and enlightening, moments, the film eventually tips into pedagogy.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
As a film, the technique barely serves the well-intentioned motivation behind it: the exposure of unprincipled subjugation.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
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.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Each revelation seems more disturbing than the next.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion is not just well-intentioned, it's admirably well-intentioned. Its intentions are so good they sparkle... The only problem is, that sort of stuff doesn't always make for the most fascinating movie.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion will make even the most apolitical viewers want to hoist their own Free Tibet banners.
Chicago Tribune
Ellen Fox
Such a measured primer of talking heads and footage -- a broad, slick Tibet 101 -- that it seems better suited to the classroom than the big screen, despite its Himalayan scenery and rustic colors.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
It's a rare glimpse of China's 'final solution' for a courageous people whose world view is one of forgiveness, nonviolence and love.
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
Focuses too much on what we know and not enough on what we don't.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
If Richard Gere annoys you, ignore him and the other celebrities mentioned here and learn something.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A fascinating and reasonably comprehensive portrait.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Cry of the Snow Lion succeeds in making a viewer want to do more, but it's scattershot enough to make you want to know more too.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Documentaries can be informative, entertaining and provocative, but rare is the documentary that makes you feel so engaged (and enraged) that it prompts you to action somehow. Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion is that kind of film.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Part political thriller, part National Geographic travelogue, Tom Peosay's documentary is a distressing look at China's 50-year repression of the people of Tibet.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
[An] unabashedly heart-tugging documentary.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
A more concise and affecting summation of the Tibetan crisis would be hard to imagine.
Village Voice
Thulani Davis
Historical footage charts Tibet's encounter with its Communist neighbor, but the doc also provides a National Geographic kind of pleasure.
