John D @RT99861730 11/26/2024 I found this to be really boring and hard to understand why this would be made. I love it when bad people are exposed and the rapist in charge is a total disgrace but found there to be no meat on the bone here!! Was excited to watch it then was left utterly disappointed!!! See more Carlos D @RT77453631 11/16/2024 The documentary is well-produced and easy to follow, alternating between the lives of Katie and Yogi Bhajan. It features numerous insightful interviews and testimonials that illuminate the behind-the-scenes dynamics of kundalini yoga during their respective eras, along with their respective entourages and followers. However, my main criticism is that it lacks an opposing perspective, particularly regarding kundalini yoga rooted in traditional Indian practices. As a former student of Yogi Bhajan's teachings, I found it shocking—though not entirely surprising—that the community operated like a cult. Even more surprising was the extent of the harm it caused to many individuals, which was truly difficult to digest. See more Scott P @11SP108 11/16/2024 One-sided and manipulative. No equal time is given to the countless people who have benefitted from Kundalini Yoga. Obviously I'm not advocating for abuse, but let us hear more than one perspective (which is what a true documentary is supposed to do). It's funny to watch filmmakers condemn the dangers of mind-control while they simultaneously influence viewers into drawing only the conclusions they want you to draw. Hmmm... isn't that the same thing a cult leader does? See more Buffy S @RT58373249 11/14/2024 Embarrassing to call this a documentary. Vanity Fair and HBO's quality has declined; and series is evidence. One sided, piecemeal together w stock footage used repeatedly. It's obvious that the production got in over its head w there false storyline and personal vendettas. When they realized they didn't have validity, tried to manipulate everything in their favor and not speak with anyone from any other perspectives. As well as take advantage of an old, sick mom who was grieving the loss of her daughter. Shame on you all. If I could give this zero stars I would. What a waste of time. I want my 4 hours back. See more Henk v @RT43845867 11/10/2024 Fascinating stuff. Can easily compete with other good cult documentaires. See more Dan C @cinemacriterion 11/02/2024 Another great HBO cult documentary.
