[I]t proves to be an admirable addition to this mini-genre of watching the changes experienced by people over time....It is definitely provocative.
Hollywood Reporter
The images benefit enormously from the breathtaking beauty of the mountain setting, and from the monks' deep burgundy robes, which add a vivid splash of contrasting color to many of the scenes...

This film will not resolve the question of whether technological "progress" represents an advance or a decline in civilization, but it certainly will provoke conversations about that issue.

Hollywood Reporter
[Balmès] lets the camera journey to unexpected places, leading to a different kind of meditation that strikes with deep emotional resonance, illustrating the coexistence of old and new and driving home how modern conveniences can shake an entire nation’s faith.
New York Times
How Balmès visually contextualizes his subjects’ struggles is indelible and impactful, transforming their emotions into tangible imagery.
Variety
The film is also dripping in moral judgement about technology, and unfortunately misses the opportunity to paint a fuller picture of Peyangki in favor of delivering a rudimentary lecture about how young people spend too much time on their phones...

Product Description:
In the documentary Sing Me A Song, director Thomas Balmès follows the story of a teenage monk named Peyangki and how the internet's entrance to Bhutan affected his everyday life and ways. From someone who was unsure of what electricity will bring to his community, Peyangki has developed to be a teen dependent on his smartphone. Via the app called WeChat, he was even able to forge a relationship with Ugyen, a barroom singer in Thimpu, who would sing love songs to him over the phone.
