Movie Reviews

Denver Post - 8/10 by Michael BoothDoes so much of what we want from documentary -- it teaches us new ways that lives can be lived. And religion or no, that always expands the spirit.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoThe director, American-born Paula Fouce, has a passion for the holy ways of the East, and it shines through in Naked in Ashes.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by John McMurtrieAn inspirational and cautionary film that documents the hermetic lives of a handful of Indian yogis.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn edifying look at the lives and spiritual practices of twenty Hindu holy men in India who meditate, serve others and take on austerities as part of their path.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasThe beautifully crafted Naked in Ashes is the third of four documentaries made by Fouce, who for three decades has studied and embraced the religious teachings found in Nepal, India and Tibet. Her family name is familiar to longtime Angelenos; her grandfather Frank Fouce Sr. was a Hollywood film pioneer and a major exhibitor in downtown Los Angeles and elsewhere for decades.
Variety - 7/10 by Dennis HarveyA respectful, illuminating appreciation of a few of the estimated 13 million yogis in India.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Ann HornadayBy turns fascinating, puzzling and troubling -- a deeply felt account of the varieties of religious experience but also a thoroughly uncritical apologia for fanaticism.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Elizabeth ZimmerNaked reads, in places, like a street fair on the Santa Monica Pier. But it's utterly sincere about the practices it depicts.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Dana StevensMs. Fouce has gained unprecedented access to her subjects, but her own admiration for them makes this documentary more heartfelt than it is rigorous.
Seattle Times - 5/10 by Jeff ShannonWith Naked in Ashes, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Paula Fouce manages a dubious feat of underachievement: She's made a documentary about Hindu mystics that's only marginally enlightening about its subject matter.
