It could have been a great social commentary on mindfulness, or it could be a nice comedy on people who take the subject of enlightenment too seriously. The movie tries to stay in between, and that doesn't work too well.
Mocumentary as a way of presentation makes no sense. Claire, the protagonist, is presented as a barely educated young woman who can't tell Korean from Japanese or Indian Indians from First Nation Indians. After that, her attempts to trick *mindfulness experts* into saying stupid things on camera don't feel convincing. This movie's creators (including Micaela Wittman, who pays Claire and is a co-director) try to mock everything and eventually achieve nothing.

Plot summary
A yoga-practicing, chai latte drinking, incense burning rich girl hires a camera crew to document her journey to enlightenment as she attempts to attain nirvana and shed her ego. She embarks on a path of self-discovery - confronting her past, her painful present, and the oxymoronic Los Angeles spiritual scene as well as worldwide theology at large.

Could have been good
Confusing, just like Claire
Confusing and not funny, just like Claire is (confused and not funny) with Indian vs. First Nation cultures, and too obvious, like the yoga teacher asking for club fees...
Everything Wrong With New Age People
I thought that a mockumentary about everything that is wrong with new age people would be funny. But it wasn't. To me, it was shameful. Too hard to watch. How someone can be that ignorant and narcissistic and just generally low consciousness while acting spiritual is just so bad. I couldn't stand to watch more than ten minutes of it. Maybe it's actually a good film, but I couldn't watch it. Hopefully the new age community watches it and has their eyes opened to how dumb they are and they can finally grow up.
