Reception
Milarepa received mostly positive reviews by Italian critics, including Pier Paolo Pasolini (who titled it a "truly beautiful film"), Alberto Moravia and Lino Miccichè.[1] Still, some reviewers were critical of the film, like Francesco Savio of Il mondo, who dismissed it as "unnecessary" and "purely decorative".[1]
