I've listened to/watched over 50+ of content including podcasts and films (and bought a book and have not yet started it though) about Ram Dass now. The most impressive part of this documentary for me is when he talks about what death means and how one should handle it. Basically, how life should be lives- understand death first. A lot will find this stance depressing, but it is not as much depressing at it could be for some who do not have a grip on this until much later in life. I loved the movie and will keep rewatching it, lest I stray away.

This film was an acute disappointment. Director Jamie

This film was an acute disappointment. Director Jamie Catto took wonderful archival footage of Ram Dass, inserted himself incongruously, and then threw it together in a slapdash manner. The message of the wise teacher is interrupted repeatedly with intrusive, barely relevant stock footage (black and white scenes of families and old cartoons), and jarring editing. The director uses precious interview time with Ram Dass to indulge in his own rambling therapy session. The music was subpar and too loud at times. Only at the end when reading the credits, did it become apparent that the director created that as well! Ironically, I was thinking all through the slog that he should have used the brilliant East Forest music, and we get a small serving of that at the conclusion. This director needed an experienced executive producer to tell him to let Ram Dass speak and not insert himself too much. Yet, the director ran rampant, and gave himself endless credits at the end. Seriously - count how many times the director's own name appears in the credits - all of this in a movie about dissolving one's ego. If you are interested in the pure teachings of Ram Dass, unspoiled by poor editing choices and jarring juxtapositions, then seek out: Here and Now podcast, the book Be Here Now, and the brilliantly done music East Forest featuring Ram Dass.

A fantastic touching encounter where we are skillfully

A fantastic touching encounter where we are skillfully taken on an auditory and visual journey. I don’t know how someone goes about choosing what quotes to use but this was well done. Some critics complain about director “inserting himself” but i appreciated the spontaneous unscripted dialogue it created! And it makes you wonder—what would you say/ask in a filmed interview with someone like that? The last 1/4 of film addressing his view on death/dying is a must for everyone in our death-phobic world.
