Leave your thoughts about Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer.
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaAn unfocused film that fails, at least for this uninitiated viewer, to open a door into any kind of reality, ordinary or otherwise. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJoe BrownAmounts to an infomercial posing as an expose. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustDoes little to unravel the riddle of the title. Unless you are already a fan of Castaneda, the film is likely to leave you feeling as though you've just watched a very long, lost episode of that old TV series "In Search of ..." |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThough interviews here are primarily with former camp followers and pic was made by one, overall perspective is just critical enough to satisfy both New Age types and curious skeptics. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxMarred by lack of a clear strategy and an over-reliance on audio-visual trickery. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrIt becomes hard to tell just what Castaneda was advocating, apart from the liberal use of psychedelic drugs. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nulltiresome before the opening credits even roll... with the air of a cable access show |
| Boxoffice MagazineChristine JamesIt will leave true believers deeply disillusioned and everybody else apathetic. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNot only doesn't provide any real information, it barely manages to convey why we should care. It represents a true squandering of a potentially fascinating subject. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThe obvious, cliché-ridden visual style of this probe into the life, work and legacy of Carlos Castaneda ends up working very much against its subject. |
