The movie sets the typical indie/homemade movie mood.
Viewers are introduced with a girl making a documentary about her journey of becoming the light beam she feels the need to be - so she goes through the spiritual/religious path.
The story line itself is not the most unique or interesting, there are many stories of "girl becoming the better herself" , however, the execution perhaps brings the movie something. Wouldn't say it's something new, as the YouTube is already full of vlogs that are like this "documentaries about spirituality".
Comedy? Well I felt like the movie is more like a satire (commentary on the "white rich girl in LA") than a comedy with some typical "ackward yet lovable character going though a great journey". The jokes were sometimes flat . Maybe it is the time and era we are in, but the jokes about ignorance, not being able to separate different religious people etc. Seem a bit offensive. There are some jokes to better not touch if they are not executed with enough respect and attention.
Acting? Actors did good, I sometimes believed some of them, however sometimes the main lead overdid some emotions, as if the aim is to gain attention, but that might be the characters description as well.
