As a viewing (and listening) experience, Sacred is never less than hypnotic.

Los Angeles Times

Abstract, yet moving... The film articulates a concept of universal humanity. No matter the religion or circumstances, we all have the same desires for peace and connection throughout life.

The Hollywood Reporter

Rarely lingers on any subject for long and even more rarely inquires about the beliefs behind the ceremonies it observes.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

A beautiful, often moving look at the unifying force of faith, Sacred focuses not on the differences between religions, but on how they're similar.

Rated: 3/4

It seems reasonable to turn to the subject of faith after having seen so much in the world.

It’s definitely an awakening to global religious belief systems. The cinema photography was explicit due to the forty independent filmmakers that contributed that made this documentary possible. Indeed go and see it. The captivation of varied levels of innocence is astonishing. The commonality which humans share globally in respecting the existence of a higher power with great reverence touches the viewer’s cord.
