People gather for an annual festival in the desert of Nevada.

Los Angeles Times

The film's strength is in its ability to bring the experience of Burning Man to its audience, evoking not only the heat, dust and fatigue, but the sheer awe of its enormousness and generosity of spirit.

Rated: 3/5

Fails to convey what brings thousands of people to this place every year. Guess you had to be there.

Rated: 2/4

I emerged charmed by some characters, a bit more informed than before about Burning Man as a whole, but decidedly non-immersed.

Rated: B-

Everybody gets naked and plays electronic Hacky Sack or something. All attendees are required to keep a video diary of everything they do.

...tries to personalize the event by focusing on three participants, who unfortunately happen to be rather boring.

It is a weird festival but you can have great adventure galloping down the drink to soothe your dried throats due to the ragging heat of the festive jive. http://www.travelamerica360.com/the-burning-man-festival-expression-of-enigma-and-radical-expression.html

It's hard to appreciate a documentary about the Burning Man ... until you were there yourself :-)

Not too bad. The visuals were great and I liked the style.. following just a few participants of the festival.
