Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine It can be exhilarating to watch as clearly intelligent/talented people hold forth on the true objects of their obsessions. Rated: 3/4 Nov 15, 2010 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Unfortunately, despite Snyder's quietly commanding presence, the docu's setup, a series of staged, would-be Socratic dialogues, feels forced and artificial -- everything Snyder's poetry is not. Nov 12, 2010 Full Review Andrew Schenker Village Voice The film's as relaxed and unhurried as a beat blissing out on some choice weed, as Zen as the brand of Buddhism that Snyder helped bring to the American consciousness. Nov 9, 2010 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A fascinating documentary on Gary Snyder's adventures and his importance as a sage with much wisdom to pass on to us. Rated: 3/5 Nov 11, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
