Ella Taylor NPR 07/14/2016
Willfully or not, the director misses one opportunity after another to pull back and assess. Go to Full Review

At best, the film is a Rorschach testimonial, lionizing its subject while offering enough objectivity to allow non-believers to opt out. At worst, it's a very long infomercial. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 07/12/2016
Though Mr. Berlinger had final cut, it's hard to find a single moment here that would be out of place in a promotional video. Go to Full Review

Inspiring but biased docu; lots of cursing. Go to Full Review
David Walters Bloomberg News 04/05/2017
Despite the film's titular claim, Robbins is very much allowed to play the guru for the full 116 minutes, with no one willing to separate the sage advice from the snake oil. Go to Full Review

Ronnie S Feb 20 I'm Not Your Guru is an electrifying and emotional look into Tony Robbins' Date with Destiny seminar, capturing his unique ability to transform lives. Director Joe Berlinger presents an unfiltered view of Robbins' tough-love approach, showcasing powerful moments of self-discovery and personal breakthroughs. While some critics argue the film feels promotional, it ultimately succeeds in showing why millions turn to Robbins for guidance. Rather than deconstructing his methods, the documentary immerses viewers in the experience, letting them judge the impact for themselves. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, I'm Not Your Guru is an inspiring, high-energy exploration of human potential that leaves a lasting impression. AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE IF YOU FEEL STUCK IN LIFE ❤️ See more Joaquin C 05/31/2023 Got inspired, want to be better. Definitely recommend this documentary. See more jeffrey c 09/18/2022 An unquestioning "inside" look at the Tony Robbins' self-help cash machine. Queue the music and the tears (literally). He may not be a guru, but he definitely has a rather enthusiastic cult-like following. This is not the story behind the man, this is an ad for the myth. Just another vehicle for Robbins' multi-million dollar money-making juggernaut. Go ahead... drink the Kool-Aid or perhaps, opt-out. Indeed, he's not your guru. He's just the name on the check and the guy who cashes it. You'll never see the Tony Robbins behind the character. This is the shiny, polished, always full of energy and positivity Tony; the always "on" Tony. This "documentary" may have had a chance if it would have shown us "Tony having a bad day Tony." It would have been interesting to see the Tony who is pissed off at an employee for losing him a million dollars, the Tony who ate and drank too much the night before, the Tony who is actually a real human being. But it doesn't show any of that. This is just the Tony you pay thousands of dollars to see. This is not a normal, flawed person, this is a character, an act, a show in Vegas. But at least it's included in your Netflix subscription. You won't be charged nearly as much as the poor desperate souls in his audience. On a side note, there's an usually large amount of really attractive women hanging around this guy- in the audience (several of whom are directly featured in the movie,) and working for him. So, perhaps I will attend a seminar or two. I like my odds. See more 12/27/2021 Meh. I love Tony Robbins and his life changing events, but they were so much better than this film makes them out to be, in my opinion. I think this film could dissuade people from going to one when they could really actually benefit. The cursing was way more prevalent than I've seen, and was overkill in my opinion. See more 12/11/2021 To realize that all your life—you know, all your love, all your hate, all your memory, all your pain—it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream. A dream that you had inside a locked room. A dream about being a person. And like a lot of dreams there's a monster at the end of it See more 06/21/2021 Inspiring! A wonderful film about shaping your destiny, letting go of pain and living a full life. See more Read all reviews
