Movie Reviews

The Times of India - 6/10 by Reza NooraniIhere is no real drama and it comes out a bit flat. If you're a follower though, this one is for you.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Michael RechtshaffenThe film effectively summons an evocative moment in time. But...the film ultimately feels like a marketing tool for ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Film Journal International - 5/10 by Frank Lovece[A] fawning French kiss that makes Triumph of the Will look like Annie Hall.
Movie Nation - 5/10 by Roger MooreHare Krishna! never amounts to anything more than a mix of historic relic and modern day recruitment film. And aside from the already-converted, who’s going to want to see that?
Washington Post - 5/10 by Mark JenkinsFor viewers who aren’t hostile to mysticism, vegetarianism and endless chanting, it’s a stirring story.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Daphne HowlandJohn Griesser’s film about Srila Prabhupada, founder of the Krishna movement, is not so much a documentary as it is a hagiography.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckLacking objectivity and the necessary contextual information and commentary that would provide a balanced examination of its subject matter, Hare Krishna! mostly preaches to its robe-wearing choir.
San Francisco Chronicle - 3/10 by David LewisIt’s so uncritical of its subject that it has the unintended effect of undermining its mission, which appears to be recruiting new devotees of the faith.
FanboyNation.com - 2/10 by Sean MulvihillIt's a poorly made documentary that leans heavily on stock footage and inadvertently illustrates just how hollow the philosophy built around the mantra really is.
User Review - 10/10 by Shyamarupa DA beautifully crafted portrayal of the remarkable life and journey or A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the Hare Krsna Movement. The scope of the film depicts his rise from obscurity to international fame as the leader of an emerging spiritual movement and reveals why his followers not only dropped everything, including the Hippie lifestyle, to take up his mission with intense zeal in the 1960s and 70s. It also reveals why, two generations later, countless number of devotees still revere him and dedicate themselves to this same vision. Although, due to the time constraints of the film, there are many details missing which could paint a fuller picture of who Prabhupada was. Details such as his childhood in early 20th century Calcutta, war and famine, his connection with his Guru's mission and Godbrothers, his arduous journey to America in which he suffered two major cardiac arrests and divine visions, etc. This film still captures the magic and essence of that heady and tumultuous time.
