    Beautiful movie

    Had no idea what it was about and just watched it at random. Fell in love with it - it will be part of my 'spiritual center' movies or movies I go to when I'm feeling out of sorts and needing to get back to myself. Little nuggets of wisdom and phrases sprinkled in that resonate deeply. The expressiveness of the main character is truly beautiful - kudos to the actor. To be fair, the story isn't anything overly surprising as it unfolds - but the telling of it is done masterfully and with great care. If you are feeling lost, buried, overwhelmed, watch it. If you are looking for something beautiful, touching, refreshing, watch it. Don't over analyze - just go along for the ride and enjoy.

    A movie with a message that matters!

    This is a great movie. Ignore bad reviews! I recommend everyone to watch this movie.

    Powerful, Moving and Unique

    I knew nothing about this film but just liked the title and the promo image, so thought I'd go for it. I'm SO glad I did. It was like no other film I've ever seen. Firstly, the music was exquisite - and so was the the casting, the cinematography, the acting and everthing else about it. But I found the heart of this film to be the powerfully, cleverly, beautifully elucidated message - i.e., that many humans have lost their basic humanity and many (most?) in power are only interested in power (and money honey), and NOT the greater good. I'm not used to hearing the things that make me mutter obscenities under my breath when I watch the nightly news, being strongly expressed in a film, so it took me by surprise (in a good way). Lots of people apparently feel uncomfortable when confronted with these 'concepts', and dismiss it all as merely clichéd. On one level that's undeniable, but on a deeper level, those damn clichés are...'uncomfortable truths' (oops sorry, another annoying 'cliché') Anwyay - loved it! Don't miss it!

    (P. S. thank you to all involved with this film and especially to the writers - write on!).

    A Special Film For All

    Ignore the naysayers! Anti materialist heavenly film - we need more films like this in this heartless world of me me me money money money and all the artificial B/S of modern living.

    Life changing movie

    Everyone should watch this amazing movie, especially top corporate executives who have lost touch with their basic humanity which they have surrendered to delusion of money, and start treating their employees like people and not like disposable numbers. This movie will go over most people's heads as we have grown up in a shallow material world which has warped our thoughts, but if you still have some connection to your true self, then this movie will bring it out in you. Great acting, great content, great, great writing and subject matter. This is the best movie I have seen in a long, long time. If your idea of a great movie involves tons of car chases then this movie isn't for you.
