The writing lacks subtlety...The acting is uneven — tepid to unpolished. It’s entirely too touchy-feely and squishy to grapple its subject in a compelling and meaningful way.

Rated: 1.5/4

This movie has been described to me as a curriculum in compassion, and it is. In just over an hour, with the help of gorgeous scenery and a powerful score, Rite of the Shaman will move you in a way you will not soon forget. I'm not kidding. See this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The majority who watched this got it. A few did not. I recommend the few that didn't go back and watch it again.

Such a sweet movie by mother and son! Characters make you want to cry once the end comes! Hopefully a rite of shaman part two!

Amazing movie witha great message. This is definitely a feel good film that we really need right now in our struggling society. You leave with a greater perception in life and on the small choices you make that can and will make a big difference.
