      Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Journey from Zanskar maintains a level-headed matter-of-fact tone that humanizes the Zanskaris without stooping to crass exploitation. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 25, 2011 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety The trek proved a logistical nightmare but a documentarian's delight, full of suspense, vivid dangers, strong personalities and energetic tots. Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times Mr. Marx shines a light on a place and a way of life that are rapidly changing. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 22, 2011 Full Review Shirley Sealy Film Journal International As moving and as visually spectacular as this documentary can be, it fails to find a dramatic high point, and in the end leaves its exotic subjects-and therefore the viewers-in something of a limbo. Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice An extraordinary documentary about an educational project instituted by two Tibetan Buddhist monks who want to enrich the lives of 17 impoverished children from their region. Rated: 5/5 Sep 21, 2011 Full Review Martin Dunphy Georgia Straight This is a film that really does put our lives into perspective. Jan 23, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
