Reviews - Yogini

  • “This concept was thoughtfully executed and treated its young protagonist with a level of respect we could use more of in film. This script comes off as both a feel-good family story and a story of personal discovery and “coming of age” that I haven’t seen explored in quite this way and was very refreshing to see. There is certainly a market for stories of personal and spiritual discovery, as well as processing grief. This script made a very specific story feel universally relatable on an emotional level.“

  • “This is a really great script and was a joy to read. At the risk of repeating myself, the writer manages to engage us all the way through with the character’s journey. There is a lot of heart and depth and a beautifully tied story by the close. There’s an excellent writer here with a great story on their hands.”

  • “The concept of this film is great and something that I have not seen before. It feels like a unique amalgamation of different movies, topics, and genres, and that’s great. It makes this story stand apart from the crowd as well as marketable.”

  • “It is ultimately moving and eye opening. Seeing a coming of age story through a grieving young woman finding yoga is a lovely message that has the power to speak to many audiences of many different backgrounds.”
