Reviewers often make claims - whether the film is pure fiction or more-or-less fact - that do not answer the question a potential viewer would ask: will I be interested? You WILL be interested, even if you're a little repelled by the people. Baba Dez may be a con man or he may be sincere, but the filmmakers do not moralize or comment; they present Baba and all the rest in the spirit of "Here they are - make of them what you will". Baba's pain at losing Maya certainly appears authentic, even though he uses the very same behaviors that drove her away to attempt to win her back. Confusing? Certainly it is, but this documentary is fully entertaining.
