The film's strength is in its ability to bring the experience of Burning Man to its audience, evoking not only the heat, dust and fatigue, but the sheer awe of its enormousness and generosity of spirit.

Fails to convey what brings thousands of people to this place every year. Guess you had to be there.

I emerged charmed by some characters, a bit more informed than before about Burning Man as a whole, but decidedly non-immersed.

Everybody gets naked and plays electronic Hacky Sack or something. All attendees are required to keep a video diary of everything they do.
