Aya: Awakenings Audience Reviews

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
children-need-love This cannot be called a movie. rather it is a narrated audio book with some fractal animations. Very disappointing to say the least. The single story and experience that is told by the narrator and director is just lame. This movie falls short on so much. I definitely cannot and will not recommend this movie to anyone that is interested in the subject matter. Also, the narrator should learn how to pronounce Ayahuasca properly. Very annoying. There is a chance to bring more consciousness into the world about the amazing potential of Ayahuasca to heal and transform, but not with this "movie". Read a good book about it and your time is spend way better.
hwein001 The narrator/author Rak Razam comes across as someone who approached the experience more with the aim of writing a blog+book about it (which then got turned into this movie), rather than someone actually using ayahuasca as an opportunity for personal healing / spiritual growth. As such, it comes across like he was trying to spin-out as much as possible from his rather limited actual experience, and his descriptions of his experiences feel very overblown, and lacking in much reflection/wisdom.There's plenty of other good movies on the subject of ayahuasca which I would recommend ahead of this one, i.e. The Sacred Science, anything about Gabor Mate's work, Tierra Vida An Ayahuasca Journey, DMT The Spirit Molecule, etc.
