Tenzin is a young Tibetan man living in Toronto, whose older brother self-immolates as a form of nonviolent protest of the treatment of Tibetans living under the current Chinese occupation. Tenzin struggles to come to terms with the loss of his brother while navigating a life with one foot in Western youth culture and the other, somewhat reluctantly in the devoted community of his fellow exiled Tibetans.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Toronto’s Little Tibet deserves its big moment in the spotlight. But Tenzin’s glow is ultimately too dim, flickering on and off until it simply fades. Mar 15, 2023 Full Review Rachel West That Shelf [T]here is no doubt that newcomers, immigrants, and first-generation Canadians will connect to the feeling of being caught between Western ideals and their traditional culture. Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Tenzin describes the experience of trauma viscerally, and plainly, and how oppression has cursed the world throughout human history, via a confused young man. Wrenching. Rated: 2/4 Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin Reality and illusion become muddled in this film about a young Tibetan man in Toronto, grieving the self-immolation of his older brother. Rated: C Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Heavy on atmosphere and tragedy, but disappointingly light on depth, the Canadian produced, Tibetan diaspora set drama Tenzin is basic and reductive, but not lacking in food for thought. Rated: 5/10 Mar 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
