The memory of the Beatles' relationship with India is revived in this engaging documentary, and if there isn't much really new here, it's still salutary...

Rated: 3/5

Los Angeles Times

Saltzman's observations and insight from Beatle historian Mark Lewisohn and TM practitioner David Lynch, among others, offer a window into this heretofore opaque time.

It's a lovely look back - happy memories are revived and wrapped in garlands, set to a sitar-and-tabla soundtrack.

Rated: 3/4

It's not the world's most sophisticated filmmaking, but it's quite a story Saltzman stumbled into.
