Beyond Food is not a sermon or a quick fix solution like fad diets. It is a public service, providing people with the skills and knowledge to improve their health and well-being.

Disjointed film. Contains little substance and little to take away. No idea why these people were selected for interviews. None are experts. Best part of watching this on video or streaming is the ability to fast forward through the silliness. The fawning so-called 'critic review' isn't well written either.

Wow, a movie that is basically all filler. This is probably the worst diet based movie I've seen.

Incredibly poorly edited, and any relevant or useful information was lost because of it. Truly a trainwreck of a movie. Some of the interviews seemed interesting though. Contradictory "feel good" information presented with little to no actual data. This is "The Room" of health documentaries.

Probably one of the worst food documentaries I've ever watched. They proved nothing, didn't use credible sources, shared various unscientific anecdotes, and switched from random interview to random interview every couple of minutes. Waste of the $0.99 I spent to rent this.

The directors visit people who have different answers to how to get more in touch with their bodies through food, exercise, and meditation. I found the film to be interesting to see the different perspectives. However, there are several downsides to the movie. Almost none of it is research-based; these are the claims made by individuals who themselves have improved through the specific regimen they adopted. The concepts are not really explored in any depth; one example is the use of the term "biohacking". I searched this after the film and did not get a clear understanding of how this applies to the people in the movie. The stories are so fragmented that it is challenging to find connecting threads or overall themes the directors are trying to make. One theme that deserves exploration, for example, is the extent to which focus on the body produces the desired effects; this seems reasonable, but it also leaves open the possibility that what people are doing in the long run may not be healthy. I recommend this film only for the exploration of a limited number of alternatives people seek to become healthy. Otherwise, the illumination it provides is extremely limited.
