Watch Kumaré Movie Online No Survey A provocative social experiment-turned-documentary, Kumare follows American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi as he transforms himself into a wise Indian guru, hoping to prove the absurdity of blind faith. Instead, he finds himself forging profound connections with people from all walks of life -- and wondering if and when to reveal his true self. Will his followers accept his final teaching? Can this illusion reveal a greater spiritual truth? Winner of South by Southwest's Audience Award, Kumare is an insightful look at faith and belief. -- (C) Kino Lorber Release Date Kumaré Jun 20, 2012 Limited

Review For Kumaré
What started as a long, elaborate joke becomes a journey, both for Gandhi's students and for the filmmaker himself. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post Your view of the film may hinge on whether you can accept the ethics of his fakery. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle There's a Morgan Spurlock narcissism to "Kumaré." It could just as well have been called "Super-Spiritualize Me." Mark Feeney-Boston Globe As "Kumaré" plays out, both Gandhi and the film become something else, something much more thoughtful and moving. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic It's a fascinating social experiment, but not much of a movie. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader When I first heard this film described, I assumed it would be a satirical, snarky comedy like Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat." Not so. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times Kumaré might be a Sacha Baron Cohen stunt, but Gandhi drowns his padded documentary with a voiceover that is all Morgan Spurlock, deaf to its self-aggrandizement. Ann Lewinson-Boston Phoenix The film's notion that the ruse here was okay because it ultimately helped people seems like a specious rationalization. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago A bogus guru sends a message about the nature of spiritual leadership today in this "Is it for real?" documentary. David Noh-Film Journal International Skims over the vast topic of religion-divorced spirituality, particularly as attached to yoga, with a calculated superficiality... Alison Willmore-AV Club Kumaré struggles mightily to emerge from its well-rendered cleverness, and doesn't begin to seriously explore the sense of emptiness plaguing too many. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York A spiritually challenging documentary about guru-disciple relationships and taking responsibility for our own spiritual growth and maturation. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Kumaré has a premise that could've been the launching point for one of Sascha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles's satirical outrages. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Sharply shot, edited and costumed doc about a fake Indian guru who teaches his disciples more than he could have imagined. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
