Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

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

Michael Ordoña

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.

Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

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

Rated: 3/4

What sets it apart if that it's not sanctioned by the Beatles or their estates or Apple Records.

AARP Movies for Grownups

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

Rated: 3/5

Chris Knight

National Post

The photos, capturing the Beatles at a high point in their creative lives but also relaxed and candid around their mild-mannered Canadian friend, are stunning. But the rest of the 82-minute documentary sometimes feels like so much filler.

Rated: 3/5
