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

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.

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.

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

Rated: 3/5

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
