Max Borg Loud and Clear Reviews Rarely has a filmmaker questioned their own work’s reason for existing as thoroughly as Otso Tiainen does here, with the second half turning into an introspective journey down an increasingly terrifying rabbit hole. Rated: 4/5 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The fact that it starts off one way and changes direction once new information is found shows professionalism from the filmmakers and a honest search for truth. Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Tiainen copes impressively with a film which swerves far off its original course, and what emerges is more interesting for the diversion. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net A rich and powerful documentary that stands proudly alongside films like Heart of Darkness and Burden of Dreams as an ethereal and revelatory introspection on life, faith, filmmaking, and abuse that becomes a part of us and never lets go. Rated: 5/5 Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Shadowland allows the web to untangle itself and the reality to fully differentiate itself from the fantasy, while still being respectful to those whose lives have been upended by these “spiritual narcissists.” Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Malone Morbidly Beautiful It's a complex, layered documentary that defies easy categorization — a meditation on spirituality, a character study of a fallen idol, and a sobering look at the insidious nature of abuse. A masterclass in documentary-making and crucial cautionary tale. Rated: 5/5 Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
