Critic Reviews

  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

    Shot and acted with all the skill of a late-night infomercial.

  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

    As an entryway into new ways of thinking about the self, the universe, and the vast infinite whatnot of whatever (you know what we mean, oh wise one), this little movie is big.

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    appreciate the fact that this movie tries to make the audience think, but the approach is terrible and condescending to say the least. These are not new concepts. These are rehashed efforts to explain the world through juvenile fantasy that pretends that the world is only what we… More

    It seems a fine documentary as I like Marlee Matlin who appears in that special interest film. (Disappointed it has no English substitles on DVD - that's impossible because it has support for the deaf culture including Marlee Matlin).

    A very interesting and well done documentary on quantum physics. The story that ties it together is pretty lame, but at the same time necessary.
