Heal

What started as an overview of alternative therapies to diseases conventional medicine doesn't have an acceptable solution ended ... with no conclusion. Two severely ill cases are presented throughout the whole movie, alongside their therapeutic journey encompassing a wide array of alternative therapies. Yet only one of them is followed until the end of the disease, the other one being somehow lost in the eternal dilemma of choosing between harmful on long term conventional therapies and insufficiently proved unconventional ones.

Also quite bizzarre "match" between the lifestyle that some characters pretend to have ( yoga, ayurveda, meditation - which should balance and put one in deep connection to the real self), and their unnatural look ( obvious plastic surgery, underweight, hair dying in men, elegant hairdos etc).

Basically the movie just touches very sensitive areas of therapeutics without showing you clearly solved cases. It left me in an overall impression of shallowness.

Too bad. The topic deserves a better approach.

The amount of absolute nonsense pseudo-science in this "documentary" is insane. Unproven claims, ridiculous claims and, quite frankly, dangerous claims with zero peer reviewed evidence behind it. All of it aimed at the most gullible amongst us.

Avoid.

I see what people are saying, but try to ignore the selfie stuff & focus on the healers. There are some life-altering messages here from some of the greatest sources alive. Hollyweird is a strange blend of botox & wheatgrass; that gestalt doesn't even seem weird there anymore... don't let the b-roll fluff distract you from the underlying message. Yes, the film should've been cut in half rather than have a hostess repeating/translating, but the message is well worth your time.

Now similar to another documentary this tells us there is one powerful weapon we seldomly use: the power of will. The power to imagine something and to make it come true through sheer will and the power of ... well positive energy I reckon. Do you believe in it? Or is sarcasm winning over? Now I personally think there is truth to it.

And the same is true for all those people affected in this documentary. It doesn't mean that all is well as long as you think positive, but it is one step in the right direction. There is more we don't know yet, about many things, so why not go for some positivity. And if you take anything away from this (there is even an actress in this, you may recognize from a former hit TV show), hopefully it is something positive

Heal seeks to answer a question that most of us ask ourselves daily: now that I've married this billionaire, what shall I do with my time? "Director" Kelly Noonan answers this question boldly as she speaks with "authors," many of which she appears to chase while on their lunch break in New York City. One man talks to ghosts and seems disappointed when Noonan doesn't have a terminal illness. The rest of us are disappointed for other reasons. All jokes aside, this is a gold digger's fantasy ride. Please don't be tricked into believing it.
