Critic Reviews
-
Andrea Chase, Killer Movie Reviews
Wagner brings his fine documentarian's eye for detail to WINDHORSE, a gift for explaining the complexities of the situation.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Celebrates the indelible spiritual impact of the exiled Dalai Lama upon the souls of his oppressed people.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This fictionalized drama (probably preaching to the choir) cannot be judged as other films for its entertainment value alone.
-
Maria Garcia, Film Journal International
Wagner seems to forget he's making a narrative film and not a documentary--there's no consistent point of view other than his own.
