Rating: 3.5/4 -- The film is fascinating on every level -- as a portrait of a willing servant in a complex, powerful and inscrutable religious system and a feast of spectacular sights and unusual mundane events in a corner of the world rarely exposed to prying eyes. Full Review

How far can an incredibly cute kid and an incredibly beautiful setting go toward making a movie worthwhile? Not far enough, as indicated by Unmistaken Child.

UMISTAKEN CHILD does more than take you inside a closed culture in an almost unreachable part of the world....Its privileged glimpse deep into unfamiliar spiritual territory has the strength of revelation.

Rating: 3/4 -- You could argue that the film would be stronger if it explained more fully and asked more questions, yet "Unmistaken Child'' stands as a window on a beautiful and mysterious world. The questions it leaves hanging are for us to untangle. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- At once a compelling story and a meditative experience -- not something you'll find in Hollywood karma.

[A] fascinating documentary....Seldom has film presented such a richly ambiguous juxtaposition of modernity, ancient mindset and, to be sure, possible miraculousness.
