Only a cynic wouldn't appreciate the sincerity at work in "One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das."

Walter V. Addiego

San Francisco Chronicle

Despite its handful of emotional, soul-baring moments, "One Track Heart"... has a once-over-lightly feeling that disappoints.

The film is for people who are already devotees. Others may find their minds wandering.

I was interested in the 20 years between KD coming back from India and then finding his devotional career path.

I went into this film thinking I would get a certain something out of it and I didn't, what I got was something else. I never thought that I would come to like this type of mantra chant kind of music. Now I find myself singing Om Namah Shivaya and wanting a tabla drum.

More shameless self promotion than an enlightening tale of the modern guru master. He at least seems like a cool guy to kick it with in this film.
