Kumaré

What started as a long, elaborate joke becomes a journey, both for Gandhi's students and for the filmmaker himself.

Your view of the film may hinge on whether you can accept the ethics of his fakery.

There's a Morgan Spurlock narcissism to "Kumar." It could just as well have been called "Super-Spiritualize Me."

What Kumaré becomes is an astounding test of art's ability to transcend fiction in order to find momentous truths. The lesson? Become a believer.
