Tockinit not horrible nor great

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

hexanone The brave people who went on the difficult journey of exploring the religious experience by interviewing influential religious thinkers were not prepared for the ride. Regardless if this was their first movie, as they are amply reminding us time and again, the lack of coherence and the unnecessary heavy editing that stripped all substance from thoughtful responses of the interviewee is rendering a good idea into something meaningless. I would have been much more interested in seeing complete interviews of each spiritual or religious leaders without editing, but no such luck.I would not recommend this movie to anyone seriously seeking an articulate discussion on the topic of religion or religious experience, but it could be palatable for those seeking good one liners or simple wisdom.

torielly Participating in the Canadian premiere of this film, I really didn't know what to expect from a little, low-budget American Indie about the "meaning of life" especially opening on New Year's Day. Not only did every show sell out, people returned to see it and brought their friends, their mothers, their lovers, often driving two hours to the there. Even churches reserved dozens of tickets! Every time I stood at the back of the theatre (because there only was standing room!) I could feel an immediate "heart opening" and expanded presence of oneness. Not only did this movie deliver on the message, more importantly it delivered on the experience. What I loved was the universality of this movie - it's not just for the "new age"/cultural creative set but truly for everyONE! Time for Hollywood to wake up and smell the success of spiritual cinema...

elewis05 This movie tried to explore the meaning of life- not just with ordinary citizens, but with some of the most influential and most brilliant minds on the planet. I would have much preferred to have seen experienced filmmakers asking these people that they interviewed questions so that they didn't make them look like idiots; example: "act-out the condition of the world without making any sounds." The problem was that in the beginning, these documentarians were talking about how great it was that they were doing this great project, and in the middle and end of it, they were still talking about what a great project it was, and how they got such great people to talk about so many great things- then why didn't they share all of these great things with us???!!! I left the film feeling less enchanted. I wasn't looking for answers, just some new perspectives about the human condition, about compassion, about where we all fit within this mass of humanity, and it could have really opened up some great avenues of discussion. But no, it ended with a conclusion that "we must be one with everything around us" and "we are all one." There were the expected characters- the homeless people, the atheists, the Buddhists, the fundamentalist Christians, the people who can channel spirits, ditsy teenage girls on the street, and tourists- all allowed numerous blips and shots to give their short little answers to what they thought about God and life- but everything was so edited, and so cut-down, and so....overly artistic (like this depressed guy filmed in black and white that they keep going back to throughout the movie who was supposed to represent the topic being discussed at that moment- he was really distracting and corny and....pointless to the film). I do not think this film respected the people in it- people who should have been given more time to reflect on one question, rather than being forced to answer 20 that put them on the spot. Anyway, I could go on, but basically, I was disappointed by this film and I would not recommend it. It wasn't awful, but it really did not do any justice to the importance of our eternal search for meaning- so I for "One", want my nine dollars back.

one-71 My awareness changed after seeing this film the first time. And how often can you say that about a movie?! The messages from these wise men and women resonates with you long after leaving the theater, and you are much more inclined to truly live in the moment, just for the quest to feel the "oneness" our lives represent. "We do not know why my reality intersected with your reality, but that is the meaning of life." That is where we know our purpose. Additionally, the "interfaith" reactions and dialogues are burgeoning in my community as a result of this film. The labels and walls of differences must be rendered passé as we attempt to move on to a state of oneness. Go see it, and listen.
