Could have been good
It could have been a great social commentary on mindfulness, or it could be a nice comedy on people who take the subject of enlightenment too seriously. The movie tries to stay in between, and that doesn't work too well.
Mocumentary as a way of presentation makes no sense. Claire, the protagonist, is presented as a barely educated young woman who can't tell Korean from Japanese or Indian Indians from First Nation Indians. After that, her attempts to trick *mindfulness experts* into saying stupid things on camera don't feel convincing. This movie's creators (including Micaela Wittman, who pays Claire and is a co-director) try to mock everything and eventually achieve nothing.
