this mawkish adaptation of the philosopher Ken Wilber's book wraps tragedy in sugar and New Age sap; the first feature from Sebastian Siegel transforms a real-life tragedy into an insufferable movie
the cinematography for "Grace and Grit" is fabulous. Sebastian Spiegel does an excellent job of being respectful to Ken and Treya's predicament but also elegantly captures the emotional whirlwind of it all
Sebastian Siegel shows an ineptitude for storytelling, butchering the screenplay adaptation; while the Wilbers' experience may deserve our compassion, this depiction doesn't deserve our viewership
for a metaphysical love-conquers-all tale, "Grace and Grit" offers very little substance around such lofty concepts as existence, spirituality and romantic harmony; the movie suffers from a surfeit of style and distinct lack of character development
