I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I would have been more impressed if he would have picked at least one person over fifty to interview. There were plenty of older men and women in the audience. It appeared all of his staff was also very young. Other than that it was a pretty good film.

Don't trust the pointless, academic negativity you see here. Directed by Joe Berlinger of critical darling "Paradise Lost," "TONY ROBBINS: I AM NOT YOUR GURU" is a powerful piece of vérité about a most unconventional, controversial man. The naïve negative reviews you see here for this film are simply bad because the reviewers are reviewing the "man," and not the film. There are pointless accusations that Robbins believes he is "cool," because he uses foul language. What, on earth, would that simplistic point, an inference, no less, mean in a documentary? Maybe he should have created a less complex portrait by cleaning up his language for the first- graders who saw this by accident. There are pointless slams about his lack of psychological education, when that entire industry—has anyone seen the mental gymnastics it took to explain the latest, wildly wrong- headed DSM by a psychiatric and psychological community who have expressed embarrassment about the discipline's lack of direction—and, again, this has nothing to do with the film. Neither does denying that some individual could experience cathartic change from the oddness of the Robbins event put under a microscope in this film—from its planners and facilitators to the bizarrely American come-from-nothing story of Robbins himself, a man who knows the significant abuse many of his followers have come to share (we are talking genuine abuse: murders; rapes; abandonment—not tiny things). The film, in a sense, poses a question can someone articulate, a genuine communicator, who has suffered and risen above enormous pain—is someone like that, even when that individual becomes a cottage industry onto himself—better than an academic who has only sat outside true pain and does his or her best to understand what that other, the patient who has endured the unspeakable, has gone through? For a strong portrait of a uniquely individual American, see it; if you're a die-hard skeptic—I double welcome you. But grade the film—not the man or what you believe is possible.

First of all, I rarely write reviews. Second of all; I have never been to a Tony Robbins event and nobody paid me to write anything here. ;-) I just thought I wanted tot tell you I really enjoyed this movie and watched it with tears in my eyes. It was a beautiful piece of work showing the authenticity of this man in the way he works with people and in the way he approaches life. It gave me things to think about myself and even though it was just 2 hours I really got some of the energy and vibe going on there in that 6 day event. I really loved to watch the transformations happen. I am a therapist myself and I just really loved every bit of these 2 hours I spend on it. Thanks for making it!

The Netflix Logo tricked me into watching this infomercial disguised as a documentary. From a movie making point of view it is flawless. Beautiful camera-work, perfect editing and intriguing soundtrack.As the director proved time and time again, he is a master of his art, e.g. the Metallica documentary. But this time he failed in separating his personal experience from his job as a documentary filmmaker and basically made a concert movie that serves as an advertisement for Mr. Robbins and his empire.The length of the documentary with almost 2 hours is also contributing to the fact that i fell like someone tried to brainwash me.
