Audience Member Is Greg Hamilton lucky to be so obsessed with this 'sport' (perhaps lifestyle is more accurate) or is something missing in his life? Still, it is a beautiful film and thoroughly engaging. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The sport and the footage thereof was awesome. I did not really care for Greg Hamilton, which is too bad because he is in the whole thing. This movie made me feel fat and lazy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is strongest when it is focusing on the Burmese Chinlone players. Greg Hamiliton's narration is at times quite annoying, and his own journey never seems as compelling as those of the other players that we only glimpse. That said by the end one finds oneself rooting for "Mr Greg" and happy that he has found joy in this sport, seeing as his life seems to have been missing something up until his discovery of it. What the movie does best is in shedding light on this aspect of Burmese culture. So often Burma is only looked at in terms of its oppressive government, and it is important to see the joy and the love that the Burmese are able to find in life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A deeply enriching experience! Follow this Toronto man's social and spiritual journey through his meditative process mastering the demanding physical skill in the game/dance of Myanmar's traditional sport of chinlone! Magic on so many levels.
