The Source Family Movie Review: | |
[An] artfully executed and engrossing documentary ... Peter Keough-Boston Globe Baker's transformation from "spiritual father" to megalomaniac follows a familiar path of brainwashing and hedonism ... Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Times While 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. John Hartl-Seattle Times Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille's disturbing film is an object lesson in psychological manipulation. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times Baker's cult was both progressive and decadent, and its story makes for a juicy saga-even if directors Maria Demopoulos and Jodi While reduce the collective's rise and fall to a mere talking-heads testimonial. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York With some focus and critical perspective, The Source Family might have documented more than a spectacle of its time. Michelle Orange-Village Voice The research and elucidating synthesis on display effectively illuminate the pernicious aura of a lifestyle pursued by the yearning, lost souls of the time. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine Directors Maria Demopoulos and Jodi Wille take a rewarding, even-handed approach, revisiting an Apollonian flip side to the Dionysian dystopias of Charles Manson or Jim Jones. Marc Mohan-Oregonian There seem to be many missed opportunities for some excitement in a bland film. Joan Radell-Paste Magazine Fascinating. Equally entertaining and informative. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Great stories don't always make for great documentaries, although it's easy to confuse the two. Sam Adams-AV Club The upside of cult living? Sort of. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service One of the most detailed looks at the inner workings of an American cult ever assembled. Ian Buckwalter-The Washingtonian | |
