Little Buddha Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
In a quiet way, this gorgeous movies accomplishes many things.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
An intimate, spiritual film from Bertolucc, which trying to combine elements of mysticism and Western culture.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
Excellent introduction to Buddhism--strongest portions are mythical excerpts of Buddha's life.
TV Guide
Although the search for enlightenment may not have much in the way of high-concept appeal, the film should satisfy adventurous moviegoers as well as the large number of adults already intrigued by eastern religions.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Bertolucci's celebrated burnt-orange-and-burnished-lemon look remains handsome, and the story itself still commands some interest as a pivot into daunting material.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
A crazily mesmerizing pop artifact that ranks alongside Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha in terms of extreme earnestness and quasi-religious entertainment value.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Has some captivating qualities about both contemporary American life and Tibetan Buddhism.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A well-realized parable about Siddhartha, the Dalai Lama, reincarnation, and a boy's journey of discovery and death.
Movieline
Stephen Farber
Part fairy tale, part travelogue, and part kindergarten lesson in Eastern religion. Not a single part is persuasive or compelling.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The modern sequences lack realism or credibility. The ancient sequences play like the equivalent of a devout Bible story.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Some of the movie's mysteries are more unsuccessfully secular than rapturously eternal, but the doorway opens far enough to offer a few glimpses of nirvana.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Little Buddha succeeds precisely because of its guileless innocence.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
Though uneven, the film is engagingly moving and often humorous.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Chris Hicks
Cynics may turn away, but I found the ideas and their execution quite fascinating.
