As a bit of anthropology offering a glimpse into Tibetan life today, it's perfectly serviceable.

Rated: 3/5

Chicago Reader

Shooting in pristine black and white, writer-director Pema Tseden favors extended long shots and boldly composed frames, the space rigidly sectioned by posts, wires, mirrors, windows, and the like.

Pema Tseden’s all-Tibetan film is a confrontation of old and new, of solitude and togetherness, of dreams and reality.
