Chicago Reader -
Throughout the film cause and effect, the mainspring of most narratives, is replaced by a sense of spiritual synchronicity.

Brilliant. [24 December 1997, p. 24]

Newsweek -
Think of it as an epic poem, in which Scorsese's swirling, headlong baroque camera searches paradoxically for the stillness at the meditative heart of Buddhism. [22 December 1997, p. 86]

Salon -
Kundun, which was written by Melissa Mathison ("E.T.") from interviews conducted with the Dalai Lama, doesn't make you greedy for its images the way some gorgeous films do. It allows you to drink each one in tranquilly.

Chicago Sun-Times -
It provides a deep spirituality, but denies the Dalai Lama humanity; he is permitted certain little human touches, but is essentially an icon, not a man.
