Personally, I am very skeptical of these types of claims and there were a few things that stood out. First off, he claims he can see angels, demons, spirits, etc., and he does give a vague explanation of what he sees, but he doesn't get into enough detail. For example, he does not explain how he can tell the difference between an angel and a demon. Also, are any of these spirits comforting or do they all creep him out? I really would have liked more detail and focus on what he actually experiences but I felt like a lot of it was glossed over because of his discomfort on the subject matter (to which I ask, why bother making a documentary?). During the scene in the psychiatrists office, he claims there is a woman behind the psychiatrist but is unwilling or unable to describe what she looks like. If he can see her, why not try and describe her? If he can not describe her, how does he know it's a woman? So, as a viewer, we are supposed to just believe that a woman is standing there without any elaboration whatsoever. He doesn't even attempt to find a possible connection between the woman and the psychiatrist.After finishing the movie, I have no better understanding of what he experiences and why than the very brief description at the beginning of the movie. I don't see how he (or the viewers) got any answers from what he did/the people he visited. The movie felt like it had more of a focus on religion and/or spirituality than his "gift" and I don't understand why he is uncomfortable using sage in his house yet he fits right in with Buddhist monks and was elated about his vision quest in the woods.All in all, I do not feel this is worth watching. I am interested in watching a documentary about someone who has a "gift" like this however I am not interested in watching some random guy find his religion.

My daughter, who has a Masters in Psychology and is a shamanic practitioner, told me to watch this. For some reason I haven't figured out, i had to try and watch it three times (getting past the first twenty minutes was just so uncomfortable). It was worth the effort of breaking through that wall. I felt his journey was honest - including his discomfort in front of the camera and his slow learning that being vulnerable is not as awful as the fear of being vulnerable. The folks he contacted were very interesting and appeared genuine. There were many 'touching' moments. The 'ah-ha' moments were my favorites however - just love witnessing openings. Watch it with an open mind and heart - then see what you think after.

I agree with timmyhollywood's review on this documentary. It was boring and very poorly thrown together. I expected to see more concrete examples of his connections with spirits, like in the movie sixth sense. The only interesting part of the movie was the interview with Roger Nelson on his Global Consciousness Project, which has been collecting data from randomly generated numbers for 12 years. They claim that there is a connection between randomly generated numbers and world events, it is an interesting theory. However, I am skeptical.I'm disappointed that Netflix has a 3 star rating on this film. Skip this film and watch Tom Shadyac's 'I Am' documentary, which is also available on Netflix and much more inspiring.

Like another reviewer here, I have to question the veracity of Elrod's claim that he sees people (and colors, and other things) that others cannot see. For someone who woke up one day to experience these phenomena, he seems remarkably incurious as to why it is occurring. Although the documentary purports to take us along on Elrod's journey to do just that, it ends up sidetracked in a morass of new-age spirituality that has little to do with the specific phenomena that occur to Elrod. As a viewer, it's frustrating to watch Elrod avoid the simple and most obvious questions that would arise by placing oneself in his shoes.For example, Elrod (early in the film) speaks to a therapist (psychiatrist? Not sure as I don't believe the gentleman was identified). He tells the therapist that he (Elrod) can see a woman standing behind him (the therapist). He seems troubled, which is understandable. Yet we never see Elrod wonder what that woman's presence indicates. Does she want to tell him something? Is she in pain? Is she threatening? The viewer is only left to wonder, because that's one of the last times Elrod addresses a specific instance.For the balance of the documentary, we see Elrod visit a series of spiritual guides, who offer him little in the way of answering what or why this is happening to him. They offer platitudes about embracing the change in his life but it does little to resolve the question about what is happening to him or what the phenomena are.As a viewer, I don't expect necessarily to get to the bottom of Elrod's experience, but I expect him to at least engage the obvious questions. At the end, Elrod seems happy but nothing along the way occurs to him that would logically explain his transformation from the muttering, troubled person at the beginning of the film. Perhaps Elrod preferred not to end on a down-note or at least not at the same place he started three years prior, but it seemed like a ham-handed attempt to appear cheerful after his journey, rather than as logically confused as he leaves his viewer.
