Angry Monk: Reflections on Tibet Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Schaedler's film raises as many questions as he answers.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
This scholarly 2005 tribute to activist Gendun Choephel (1903-'51) stands out among movies about the Sino-Tibetan conflict because Swiss filmmaker Luc Shaedler, like his subject, aims to demythologize Tibet.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
This incisive film -- which opens with rare footage of angry monks throwing stones at Chinese troops -- nicely resists and complicates simpler views of the storied land.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A view of Tibet that differs from Richard Gere's deification of the Dalai Lama and "Lost Horizon". Highly recommended portrait of Buddhist monk who evolved into a revolutionary.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Input from historians and surviving intimates, archival material and handsome latter-day footage retracing Choepel's journeys mix smoothly in polished package.
Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
Audrey Rock-Richardson
Schaedler allows us almost no real understanding of Choepel.
