    very disappointing, not informing at all about the subject they were supposed to be "examining".

    Some really well articulated interviews on life, I would have put it together with more specific questions to the interviewees.... instead they mostly just ramble, but a good ramble. Not too many people will like this unless you have a thirst for knowledge

    Yes   |   No

    this film should have been called the 'examined ego' -- that's all this film was... a dozen people who speak as though their words are the most influential words you will ever hear. it's just silly.

    Yes   |   No
