Pat Mullen POV Magazine Playfully weaves between elements of conventional documentary, dramatic re-enactment, and creative license, including a finale that uses the form to interrogate the movement in a way that is fictional by design, yet experientially true.... Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate There’s too much to fit into Monkey on a Stick, but on the positive side, all of it is fascinating. Rated: 6/10 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin A tabloid-style account of the Hare Krishna movement, from its humble New York start, rapid growth and period of schisms, squandering and debauchery.
