Critics Consensus

Walk with Me offers an appropriately -- and refreshingly -- meditative look at lives lived in the pursuit of mindfulness.

Spirituality & Health

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch (his rich, mellifluous baritone is immediately recognizable)...a beautifully immersive documentary...

Observer (UK)

If you aren't into new-ageiness, its meditative pacing, preachy voiceover and closeups of shiny, hard-shelled ladybirds might grate, though its continual call to return to the present moment is hard to ignore.

Rated: 3/5

Walk with Me has several warm moments and should prove unmissable for fans of mindfulness. For the uninterested it's a test of faith.

Rated: 3/5

Any attempt to capture the nothingness central to Zen Buddhism is bound to be as frustrating as holding sand with open fingers.

A breath of fresh air from the noise of the film industry.

It's a soothing portrait of people pursuing the ineffable, gliding along with the elderly Thich and his disciples.

Extremely boring, poor quality pseudo documentary, more like a promotional video. Lacking depth and badly filmed. Very disappointed. Complete waste of money and time...although I only managed to watch half... It was so bad I had to leave the cinema. Had enough. Only did that twice in my life. Bad film.

WITH ALL THE LACK OF CLARITY HERE, THIS MOVIE HAS CONFUSED ME FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. IT DOESN'T OFFER ANY NEW INSIGHT TO PLUM VILLAGE'S WAY OF LIFE, NEITHER DOES IT GIVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT IT IS, OTHER THAN IT BEING A MEDITATION CENTER FILLED WITH MONKS AND NUNS, AND OF COURSE, THICH HIMSELF.

Beautiful but slow. Some genuinely emotional moments, though.
