Started out nice....but then lost the plot.
The introduction was stellar but then slowly devolved into being odiously preachy. Nothing was innovative- and understandably so- as the entire narration has been culled from his talks, but I was more interested in knowing Ram Dass as a person, his life story etc than being sermonized.
I am familiar with his life, but it was just another reinterpretation and reformulation of his materials from his talks from YouTube channel. It was very artistic at times, but it doesn't depict Richard Alpert's story, and loses the flow in mid-stream.
It is nothing more than the director's adaptation and not Richard's bio. Missed potential.
