For me, most of the humor occurs early on, but I found this 'documentary' held my interest and was very well-acted. Some of the scenes do drag on a bit, but so does much conversation in real life. I'm sure many will not enjoy this, but if you are a fan of indie films, I'd recommend it.
The cringe comedy felt similar to Borat or The Office, which makes it a win. I had to cover my eyes at some parts, which is good and bad, depending on you. For me it's great. Highly recommend!
Me and my gf stumbled across this film on movie night. We almost turned it off in the beginning but couldn't look away, like a car crash. It's cause we thought it was SERIOUS. Turns out it was a parody the whole time. The acting was crazy good. I can't believe all those people weren't real. They should've ran an ad pretending it was a completely real documentary and gotten way more viewers that way.
The movie sets the typical indie/homemade movie mood.
Viewers are introduced with a girl making a documentary about her journey of becoming the light beam she feels the need to be - so she goes through the spiritual/religious path.
The story line itself is not the most unique or interesting, there are many stories of "girl becoming the better herself" , however, the execution perhaps brings the movie something. Wouldn't say it's something new, as the YouTube is already full of vlogs that are like this "documentaries about spirituality".
Comedy? Well I felt like the movie is more like a satire (commentary on the "white rich girl in LA") than a comedy with some typical "ackward yet lovable character going though a great journey". The jokes were sometimes flat . Maybe it is the time and era we are in, but the jokes about ignorance, not being able to separate different religious people etc. Seem a bit offensive. There are some jokes to better not touch if they are not executed with enough respect and attention.
Acting? Actors did good, I sometimes believed some of them, however sometimes the main lead overdid some emotions, as if the aim is to gain attention, but that might be the characters description as well.

This movie is incredibly funny because it accurately depicts with painful detail how stupid some rich white girls are in L. A. who pretend to be "spiritual" but are barely skimming the surface because their real motive is to get attention or feel special like they're enlightened or will get Instagram followers.
Claire of course is the worst of the worst, but that's what makes the flick so easy to laugh at, there's very little about her to provoke sympathy or understanding. I think there are some truthful points made occasionally throughout the film, but mainly this is just a comedy.
It's not for everyone. Like, if you've lived in L. A. and been part of the crunchy scene or taken a lot of yoga or watched a lot of vegan social media this is made for you.
