The documentary's soundtrack is composed entirely of Source Family music, and some of it's not half bad.
The Source Family is a comprehensive and fair-minded look at the life and times of an inspired, mystified and possible deranged man.
The research and elucidating synthesis on display effectively illuminate the pernicious aura of a lifestyle pursued by the yearning, lost souls of the time.
Baker's transformation from "spiritual father" to megalomaniac follows a familiar path of brainwashing and hedonism.
Unearthing a decent sample of these former members, as well as a wealth of archival film and photographs, the directors elicit testimony that’s diversely sharp, spacey, nostalgic and heartbreaking.
The latest addition to the booming library of docs archiving the Nixon-Nam era, this magnetic pop-history memorial has everything: free sex, celebrity, psychedelic rock, polygamy and beyond.
With some focus and critical perspective, The Source Family might have documented more than a spectacle of its time.
