The New Believers dives into the eclectic world of the New Age movement that surged in the 80s. It’s an intriguing mix of personal anecdotes and the broader cultural phenomenon. The film brings forward four distinct healers, each with their own unique story, which adds a kind of earnestness to the exploration of these spiritual practices. Visually, it has that low-key documentary vibe, and the pacing allows you to really soak in the ideas without feeling rushed. You get this odd blend of the mystical and the commercial, which is kind of what the movement itself was about. The atmosphere feels both earnest and slightly skeptical, making you question the allure of such beliefs.
