Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter This is strictly for the New Age crowd only. Feb 5, 2014 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Grounding may have healed Kroschel's aches and pains, but it didn't give him the clarity to make a coherent documentary on the subject. Jan 23, 2014 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Throwing in sweeping vistas of virgin snow and orphaned moose as proof of nature's greatness, and recruiting a motley bunch of believers along the way, the film won't convert anyone but the already holistically minded. Jan 9, 2014 Full Review Jennifer Merin About.com [A] folksy and beautifully shot documentary. Feb 5, 2014 Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness Passion is outstripped by incoherence in this homeopathic doc, whose aims and claims remain so hazy as to circumvent embrace from even the most sympathetic and open-minded viewers. Rated: D Jan 25, 2014 Full Review Marsha McCreadie Film Journal International Easy to like, if hard to believe (though you still want to) Jan 9, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not a movie more critical information that you need to consider and use. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great movie and it's free to connect to the earth and allow the energy to do what comes naturally to all species on our planet. Bravo! and we at Kale U. give it a 5 star rating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done. Of course cynics posing as "skeptics" will always criticize what they don't understand without bothering to do their own research. This can be validated simply by standing barefoot in your back yard for 10-20 minutes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Kroschel actually has TWO Grounded films, one released in January 2014 and a Grounded 2 in August. Both are incredible and life affirming. It's about reconnecting to nature and our roots. Professional 'critics' viewing this are simply uninformed and without practical experience. I've been using this technology for 10 years, it is life changing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I read the review and saw the movie via a friend. I couldn't disagree more with what's written. There is no need for cynicism against such a simple idea that requires no investment or purchase of equipment to implement. It is far easier to test the premise. If it works, you are ahead in the game. If it doesn't. you're out nothing. The vid is entertaining enough and well enough done to be worth the small investment of a download rental. C'mon guys, there has never been an easier premise to test, and one without major negative consequences. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member So as far as a documentary goes this is poor as far as backing up it's thesis. It poses a lot of ideas with little follow up to them. I nearly passed it off as a new age movie for people that believe whatever. The thing that made me pay attention still was that it didn't take place in Sedona or San Francisco or someplace hippy already, but this hard core little Alaskan town. And while they are scientific evidence poor in this movie, they are anecdotaly rich in examples of it helping people. It was enough to get me curious enough to get a small kit and test it out myself with other people. The end result is it helped out my wife quite a bit with back pain from a ruptured disc as well as several people at work who needed medication for inflammation related headaches and infections where they needed medication before to treat them. I can't say it works for everybody. So far it's been about 50/50, but that 50/50 has really been all or nothing. Either no effect or a giant effect that seems to be lasting for months. Everybody that's tried sleeping grounded has said it's been the best sleep they've had in years. So if for nothing else, watch the movie, take it with a grain of salt, but it's something you can test in your own life and see if it has an impact and it really doesn't have to cost you anything to try. For the pain it's helped relieve my wife of, the movie was invaluable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
