I thought this was a real documentary for a moment which tells me the acting was spot on. I would actually use this film to show how absurd the beliefs and notions of the New Age spirituality is. This is like a mockumentary. I was in the new age for 10 years and was very deceived by the topics of non-duality, moral relativism, shamans, crystals, pendulums, tarot cards you name it... people will take their feelings as an objective truth and the character through out the film does just that. She's trying to reach an unobtainable goal of enlightenment like so many others that have been deceived by eastern philosophies and why the conclusion of the film is actually spot on for real life, she didn't obtain enlightenment. Let me say this, Truth is absolute and there can only be one truth of reality and everything else opposite of that are lies. I and others I've met believed we were heading towards enlightenment which is a arbitrary term for an image in your head of yourself as reaching Godhood. Like Becoming one with God and some will say actually becoming God. Eastern philosophies have some good teachings but many of its spiritual concepts are actually not logical. If you take Buddhism to its ultimate goal and become a monk with no ego then you might as well be a vegetable meditating on nothingness. You always see from these spiritual practitioners treat the ego as some sort of thing you need to get rid of and then you'll reach "enlightenment". I think it's good to explore different beliefs and religions but they can't all be true and when applying logic you can see that eastern philosophies does a poor job explaining itself or what God is or how reincarnation works or whatever. We can't even be sure these are actually Buddha's teachings because what we know about him was written 500 yrs after his death. Doesn't sound reliable. Anyone that watches this film and is confused about concepts they touch on shouldn't feel stupid. Christianity on the other hand goes above and beyond explaining who and what God is, why we are here, why we have to die, what Good and evil is and what happens after death. It's source the Bible is very reliable written by man but inspired by God. One of the dead giveaways that Jesus is who he says he is and that heaven and hell is real and we need Salvation from Jesus is the very fact that 80% of the prophecies have come true and no historian has legitimately debunked the Bible's prophetic and historic events that is backed up by 100s of thousands artifacts with no single one showing the Bible's records of events to be false. I trust the source that can tell the future and then it happens precisely as foretold. That is a fingerprint of God because only God knows the past and future all at once. So yes this film gets 6 stars because it's actually great at depicting the absurd and confusing conversations between gurus and westerners that are trying to reach enlightenment.
