Konterr Brilliant and touching

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

stefania_bochicchio This is a very ambitious film that very nearly manages to deliver the motherload. The engaging central (double) performance acts as glue in this complex script. It is a pity that other readers slated it just because they didn't understand it.

Filipe Neto This film is my first foray into contemporary Russian cinema, a kind of cinema of rare international spread and virtually unknown here in Western Europe. Although I was expecting something else, I wasn't very disappointed because I didn't expect too much either. The true Zohar is a series of commentaries to the Torah, written to clarify their reading and interpretation, a concern for the Jews of that period, as they increasingly faced the need to hide their faith and spread out. Thus, Zohar was a naturally codified book, addressed to Jewish judges and priests and made to prevent them from coming out of orthodoxy. Despite that, these film's Zohar is a kind of magical parchment with secrets about the nature of Man's existence. In addition, the film relies on the ever-controversial idea of ​​reincarnation, as a way for Man to correct their mistakes and evolve, a concept imported from Hinduism and Eastern philosophies a few decades ago, by New Age theorists and shamans.Thus, the fim's script is the story of a character, originally Roman, who finds a magical scroll that he must return to it's rightful place, and this task becomes a duty passed from reincarnation to reincarnation, in a game of cat and mouse that we hardly understand and that ends up becoming repetitive and annoying. The succession of lives and historical contexts makes everything meaningless and we begin to think what the hell of movie we're watching. The dialogues of spiritualistic content couldn't be more boring, enigmatic and hermetic. Historical likelihood is also debatable, especially with regard to costumes of some periods. Thus, the final product is a confusing and repetitive film, absurdly imaginative and implausible as a surrealistic dream. The nature of the parchment is never explained and the lack of connection between the audience and the main character makes us never worry about what happens to him.

The Couchpotatoes People giving this movie a ten out of ten rating must be as delusional as the character himself. I tried really hard to be open minded like some reviewers said before starting to watch The Zohar Secret. But after one hour I had real troubles keeping concentrated on the movie. It's all very confusing and most of all boring. Okay the producers might not have a big budget but that's not an excuse to make a bad movie. First of all it's way too long and second of all way too boring and repetitive. I won't say that all the positive reviewers are involved in some way with the movie. Some might, but I also think some people have just an awful taste in movies. Like one reviewer said, that he saw thousands of movies, I did also, and to him this one was the best ever, to me it doesn't appear in my top 1000 movies. Enough said!

talullah82 I am not trying to write a review on the movie, as I think my words won't be enough to describe the lingering need for more I am left with, since I saw the movie for the second time in a day.It is a thrilling experience and makes you think of questions like: "what would you do if you knew you were actually immortal?" "wouldn't you test your limits and wouldn't you make this life as thrilling as possible?"I am very interested in spiritual movies, but not from a religious perspective and now I cannot get enough information about the movie and about the director. I would gladly watch any movies he will direct in the future with no shadow of a doubt that it would be again an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this movie, for those who are seeking their inner self, and also to those who appreciate the cinematographic scenes that force you to think on the meaning of life. The director and the actor become one and the same. Creator and creation unite in the now.Sublime!
