Our take
Honest and self-effacing, this documentary uses co-director Alejandro De Grazia’s personal anxieties as a springboard to reach for transcendence. Famed author and Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is a highlight among the assembled pundits, while the serene film’s mountain backdrops are breathtaking.
