In many ways Little Buddha is a companion piece to Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor. A beautiful travelogue and history lesson unfolds in the two parts of this film: a historical text of Siddhartha (Keanu Reeves) and the contemporary quest of Lama Norbu (Ying Ruocheng), who believes he has found the reincarnation of his former teacher in a Seattle child. The ancient, magical tales sweep away the blasé contemporary action. Ruocheng's presence drives the story of discovery as the child learns about the teachings of Buddhism. A visual feast that will dazzle both young and old. In fact, were it not a religious icon, the youngsters might want Siddhartha dolls after viewing his magical on-screen adventures. Beautiful cinematography by Vittorio Storaro. --Doug Thomas

Courage in the witness March 6, 2010
Julia Wolfe
I come back to this film again and again for the dedication the Buddha portrayed shows to the spiritual path, to the pitfalls of devotion, and to the demons of the mind. In their's simplicity, the images in this film give me an umph, an "oh, yes! Let this go also." To see a person in meditation witness the large clanging demons we all have and realize this too is nothing lays a track to walk when those monsters in our own minds start to rave and rage.
I love it for that especially.
 A MUST WATCH FOR TODAY'S WORLD! November 20, 2009
Dr. Ric Han (Florida, USA)
While the Far-Right Evangilical Christians try to turn our Democracy into their Theocracy, this movie gives the Enlightened view of the Spiritual. It is of most important in today's takeover of so many in Congress, and the highjacking of America's Culture. This film demonstrates another point of view, rather than the myopic view of Christianity and it's "Supernatural Being." This is movie is very well done, with a wonderful group of actors, right down to the extras. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to people that think for themselves and question the belief system of which they were programmed.
A Great Movie!!! November 17, 2009
W. Terry (Virginia)
I watched this movie years ago and fell in love with it right from the beginning. It's a simple movie with a simple yet profound message. If we pay attention and comprehend the message I believe it can change the world for the better. Though Keanu Reeves looks nothing like most depictions of the Buddha, he does an adequate job in this role. I love how the director flashes back and forth between the present and the life of the Buddha with spiritual lessons at every turn. The monks are great! The children are great! Overall I would highly recommend this movie. At the very least you'll be entertained for 123 minutes.

A BUDDHA IN TIME May 31, 2009
Alan C. Henderson (Atlanta, GA)
I've seen Little Buddha at least ten times since it's release. Admittedly, it's still something of a stretch to watch Keanu Reeves in the role of Siddhartha. But he plays it well. I use this film in Comparative Religions classes as a helpful introduction to the basic story of Siddhartha Gautama, who eventually became the Buddha. It's also proven helpful to my students as they observe core Buddhist beliefs and practices woven into the overall story, particularly from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhism.
