Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 10/10 by Diana ClarkeThough sometimes clumsy or nostalgic, the film is an engaging oral history of Leary and Dass's friendship.
New York Times - 9/10 by Ben KenigsbergIt’s less a social history than a commercial for alternative healing.
Willamette Week - 8/10 by Jay HortonDocumentarians are eternally fascinated with the '60s, cycling through the same tie-dyed tropes each time a few moments of new footage appears, but these particular icons seem uniquely undeserving.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by David LewisDying to Know: Ram Dass and Timothy Leary is a love story, but not in a physical sense; instead, the love here thrives in the spiritual realm, an intimacy that makes this biographical documentary quite appealing.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Marc MohanNothing tops the discussions of mortality between Leary and Ram Dass, during which both of these battered but unbowed explorers of reality come off as nothing less than enlightened.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kenneth TuranThey both saw themselves, "Dying to Know" posits, as adventurers exploring alternate realities, and hearing where they ended up is a trip all by itself.
User Review - 10/10 by kevin hthis is not really a movie which attempts a critical analysis of the place these two enigmatic and charismatic figures have held in the history of spirituality. it's more of a fond embrace than a cold dissection. and that's exactly what it should be, in my opinion. it's a love story in which only one person was in love. it's about other realms of consciousness but also very much about THIS realm, and what happens when we're about to exit. it's a recounting of a life long friendship, as well as an illustration of how life can pull you away from the people you love. in other words - it's real.
User Review - 10/10 by Ric RThis was an interesting film on many levels. I wasn't aware of the conventional academic accomplishments of Leary and Alpert prior to their clinical experiments with psychoactive drugs, and their transition from stellar academic careerists to cultural icons is a fascinating story. Primarily, though, what makes the film so compelling is not just the larger-than-life characters of Leary and Alpert, but the nuances and depth of their 30 year relationship. I really enjoyed the film, recommend it highly.
User Review - 10/10 by Lisa HNot only an interesting docu on two historical visionaries, but the candid story of two best friends whose capacity for love will touch your heart. Robert Redford's narration is as good as it gets.
User Review - 10/10 by Richard GSpeaking as someone who experienced well over 100 LSD trips in my late teens and early 20's, I found this to be a well-produced and poignant documentary about Ram Dass (who I previously did not know) and the enigmatic Harvard psychologist Dr. Timothy Leary. Become acquainted with your soul in this life...and Death becomes a part of life that you will understand and look forward to instead of fearing.
