Nick Schager Variety 06/05/2015
There's not much enlightenment to be found in this dreary slog of a drama. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 06/04/2015
A film whose subject transcends time and place. It's a lesson in Buddhism disguised as a romantic pas de deux - or maybe vice versa. Go to Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice 03/14/2016
3/5
A romantic comedy about a Buddhist teacher and her student, a charming and manipulative celebrity. Go to Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly 02/25/2016
Because the film is centered on fully fleshed-out characters - flaws, weaknesses and all - it works in the same way any good religious emissary does: weaving a captivating tale to get the spiritual message across. Go to Full Review Victoria Alexander Las Vegas Informer 05/20/2015
An aging movie star who is used t o getting everything he wants, is still miserable. A clever film engaging Buddhist philosophy. Go to Full Review Kit Bowen The Movie Kit 05/17/2015
The whole film is much like a meditation session, reflecting on relationships and personal growth... a nice change of pace from the summer movies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/20/2015 Refreshingly different. Teachings on Buddhism throughout an entertaining, funny and engaging movie See more 06/03/2015 Boring, predictable, should have been a TV movie, so you could change the channel! See more 06/02/2015 The bad boy and the meditation teacher = opposites with sensual chemistry. Zen-flavoured LA visuals punctuate the film narrative. I think this film is something new; it has buddhist teachings within a sexy, romantic story. See more Read all reviews
