This is all fascinating in isolation, but transitions between stories and the experts’ insights never feel cohesive. The Portal also lacks the depth to fully engage — and convince — the viewer.

I saw the movie a few weeks ago in Sydney... OMG it blew me away. I have known about this project over the last few years patiently waiting for its release. Boy did it deliver! I cried a few times and was really touches in ways I wasn't expecting. The story telling, the concepts, the delivery of the information, the very NEEDED message for humanity right now and in THIS modality is just so incredibly powerful. It has been my honour to be part of this journey and to be sharing it with my community

A film promoting inner peace and global peace is worth sharing with anyone and everyone. It is an emotionally strong and inspiring film and deeply touches your heart and soul. The stories that unravel within the film are just incredible and the inner strength that we all have to create peace within and on a global scale has been beautifully captured in The Portal. This movie has not left me since seeing it and I cannot recommend it enough. A huge congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the creators of The Portal, and to the six beautiful individuals in the film who courageously shared their lives with the world. Wishing you all an abundance of happiness and peace ️

I just walked out of the cinema in Newtown after watching The Portal! I cried, laughed and it hit so many heart strings. I’m feeling so full. What incredible stories that really display the impact that meditation and stillness has on our life! No matter who you are, where you come from or what your story is. It displays strength, courage, possibility with a side plate of humour that made me re-inspired to meditate again, even though I’m a daily meditator.. I wanted to meditate more.. Pheeewwwfff! The world needs to see this. So much love ️

I recently saw The Portal at the Laemmle in Santa Monica. As a long time meditator, l was thrilled to see a film starting with the premise of what would happen if all 7 billion people on the planet meditated? With the combination of scientists and six real life people and their stories of transformation, this film is compelling, for the question it raises. What if we really can phase shift our population for the better, for the positive by increasing numbers of people transforming their lives through meditation. I know, it certainly has worked for me. Go see The Portal. You won’t be disappointed!

Disappointing. Expected so much more. This was hardly ground breaking. Concepts have been out there for years.
