This movie is less about the practice of meditation and more a series of stories about how rich and famous people meditate. While this is not a disqualifying factor in and of itself, the movie focuses far too much on rags to riches stories (as well as substance abuse to clean stories) and how meditation got people from one to the other. Still not disqualifying, but the emphasis is completely off-base. Some lip service is paid to expansion of consciousness, but far too much screen time is given to slick suits and diamond rings. This movie provides no insight into the history of meditation or its formal practice. This is one of the most inauthentic movies I've seen.
However! If you like loads of slow-motion, sunlight through trees, and subtle hints that meditation can lead you to fame and fortune, this movie is totally for you!
