…and I really, really liked it. Sure, it’s right in my wheelhouse, but I’m also a film snob who doesn’t necessarily hold every film about Buddhism in high regard.  Unmistaken Child is a remarkable documentary about the search for one reincarnate Tibetan Buddhist lama in particular that ends up being a fascinating, balanced, ultimate memorable look of the whole tulku system. Filled with striking moments, it places an all-too-rare trust in its audience to look at a complicated situation and sort it out for themselves.  Bravo, director Nati Baratz!

Go rent it, everybody–you won’t regret it.
