Leave your thoughts about The Source Family.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferFascinating. Equally entertaining and informative. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeWith some focus and critical perspective, The Source Family might have documented more than a spectacle of its time. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerAnyone interested in the appeal of cults and the psychological lure of a charismatic leader will appreciate The Source Family. |
| The PlaylistBrandon HarrisThe Source Family is a comprehensive and fair-minded look at the life and times of an inspired, mystified and possible deranged man. |
| Bust MagazineKelly MaxwellA fascinating journey into the depths of the psychedelic era of the early 1970's. |
| Slant MagazineNick McCarthyThe research and elucidating synthesis on display effectively illuminate the pernicious aura of a lifestyle pursued by the yearning, lost souls of the time. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlWhile the movie isn't up to much more than illustrating how far his reach extends (two of the commune members live in Yelm, Thurston County), it's a very agreeable entertainment. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippBaker's transformation from "spiritual father" to megalomaniac follows a familiar path of brainwashing and hedonism. |
| OregonianMarc MohanThe documentary's soundtrack is composed entirely of Source Family music, and some of it's not half bad. |
| Montreal GazetteT'Cha DunlevyMaria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille's evocative documentary The Source Family takes us inside the ultimate California commune, from the early days of bliss to the cult-like twists and ultimate dissolution of the dream. |
