Tibet in Song Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Ngawang Choephel passionately chronicles his harrowing journey into Tibet in 1995 to try and recover the lost rich Tibetan traditional folk music... .
House Next Door
Glenn Heath Jr.
During its most inspired moments, Tibet in Song becomes an artist's last stand against foreign rhetoric, propaganda, and fear, an aged songbook charting the still thriving heart of Tibet's artistic soul.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Tibet in Song" offers blunt, heartbreaking proof that the best way to murder a country is to murder its culture, and the best way to murder its culture is to kill its music.
Boston Phoenix
Gerald Peary
The benign title of Ngawaang Choephel's documentary gives little clue to the biting, powerful story that's told.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Could pressure by outside activists cause the Chinese to temper its campaign against traditional culture? "Tibet in Song" suggests that it's worth trying.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
My guess is it will mostly appeal to folks who are already into the culture of Tibet. And I bet they'll love it.
NYC Film Critic
Ethan Alter
Overall, Tibet in Song provides an impassioned, yet relatively clear-eyed account of its director's turbulent homecoming.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The business of cultural erasure through music gains literal status and gruesome consequences in Ngawang Choephel's documentary.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Doubly powerful because he also weaves in the overall history of Tibet's struggle, a primer on the Chinese government's campaign to muzzle Tibetan culture and vignettes from other Tibetans who resisted.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Make no mistake about his ability to make social studies entertaining: A montage about Tibet's many supporters is set to the Beastie Boys playing "Sabotage" live.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An astonishing documentary about the dire effects of the Chinese occupation of Tibet and their efforts to obliterate this nation's special cultural traditions.
