Rating: 85/100 --
Do artists, and those who style themselves as artists, have the right to lie to further their visions?

Yet one more film -- that defines Third World political unrest through its effect on a white liberal.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/5 --
A strange misfire with conflicted intent.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
John Boorman's Beyond Rangoon is a humane and technically accomplished drama set in the viciously repressive world of contemporary Burma.

Rating: 2/5 --
In attempting to make its politics palatable as entertainment, the film has grafted them onto a boatload of Hollywood implausibilities whose excesses cripple believability.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When Dr. Laura Bowman (Patricia Arquette) arrives in Burma shortly after a devastating family tragedy, she is swept up in more sorrow: the government's 1988 crackdown on the rising pro-democracy movement. Trapped by the turbulence around her and hampered from leaving with her fellow travelers due to a lost passport, she is compelled to flee into the jungle countryside toward safety in Thailand. It's a journey of terror and hope for those in flight. For Laura, it's also one of discovery. By aiding others, she finds her own redemption from pain.
