Swirl together hemp, peppermint, vitamin E and a huge dollop of weirdness, and you have one of the most strangely brewed documentaries in years.

A patently nice man, Ralph is a not very compelling figure.

Top CriticIt's like Capturing the Friedmans scrubbed to a happy ending.

Top CriticThe self-indulgent film also suffers from a lack of focus.

Top CriticWhat emerges is a complex portrait of a man who cares more for humanity than for his own children, often left to languish in orphanages while their father scoured bodies and minds.

Top CriticA bittersweet story of a family and the surprising effects a crusading eccentric can have on them.

Top CriticAlthough the segments featuring Bronner's son, Ralph, veer uncomfortably toward hagiography, director Sara Lamm balances out the love fest by exploring the dark side of being a soap-hawking prophet and the toll that ALL-ONE-FAITH took on Bronner’s family.

A movie that means well and does no harm, only good. So there should be an audience for this mild, friendly little effort.

Tyro helmer Sara Lamm satisfyingly stitches together the family soap opera into a comfortable crazy quilt without sacrificing its unique, oddly topical edge.

Top CriticYou know there's a story behind Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, and filmmaker Sara Lamm hopes you're interested in hearing it. Luckily the story behind the suds is a pretty good one.
