      Audience Member Excellent acting, cinematography, and storytelling. I found it uplifting and practical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review dave j No plot but more of a promotional historical infomercial tour or docudrama of the the yoga/ meditation of an actual communion who practice the art of "Ananda" . Actress Elizabeth Rohm plays the fictitious reporter, Juliet Palmer, given an assignment to write a report on the pact visiting one in California from New York City. Although , the character journalist asked all type of questions, it still feels like it was not enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a highly inspirational and heart touching movie with a very genuine message to humanity that simple living and high thinking is the REAL way of life. Juliet's (actor) journey is like anybody else's journey towards a discovery that living in harmony and peace IS possible in today's world. This is a very solid and practical example for the world which is filled with so much discord and other conflicts. Highly recommended to watch this movie. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This can barely be called a movie at all. It's an hour and a half long advertisement for yet another new age organization claiming to have the answer to being happy. The parts where they mention Jesus, Buddha and their founder's mentor are jarring in their audacity. The transparent way that cities are made to look bad, even if what they show is true con to living in the city, is a childish attempt to make their commune look better. The best was when their solar 'engineer' claimed to have a battery, sorry not a battery because batteries are toxic, an energy storage device that consisted of some copper pipe and a magnet. This is an innovative way to advertise a cult. One that claims peace is within you but is constantly dependent on the community its built. Its presentation style of using a critic turned believer is incredibly cliched and poorly written. Right down to her editor wanting to go there as well. Why everyone has to have Indian sounding names and wear Indian clothes is beyond me. You should be able to have peace just being yourself. This is not a movie and it sucks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member If you've ever wondered what's missing in your life, despite having everything, WATCH this film. It will touch your soul and leave you inspired! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie really touches the heart and soul. It is based on real experience and shows there is a different way of living, it proves there is hope for the future if we put our spiritual growth in the first place. Both grown ups and youngsters will feel incredibly inspired and nurtured after watching this movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
