🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a sharp satire of spiritual consumerism, relying on the impeccable dynamic between Judy Davis and Peter Weller. It explores the absurdity of treating enlightenment as a commodity, where every guru offers a quick fix for existential dread.

What lingers after the final scene is a poignant question about authenticity in a world of branded salvation. A darkly comic reminder that the search for meaning can become the most meaningless pursuit of all. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Michael Tolkin
