This movie is visually stunning and deeply moving. There is little dialogue as the subject matter, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi defies mental constructs and intellectualism.

I wondered what was being said, I wondered why no subtitles. Maybe Netflixs has a dutch copy. The cinematography was very fine. But I found the documentary boring, uninvolving, and confusing.
