●I like the movie because it’s very spiritual. She’s (leading actor) very convincing. (Male)

●I enjoyed it very much. It’s wonderful combination of message, humanity, and spirituality. It was a full circle of emotions all in one film. (Male)

●In the world today, we need to be reminded that we are spiritual beings, and that there are things that we can’t see out there that are there and real. She(leading actor) is like a superhero. (Female)
