This was an excellent expose of yet another megalomaniac, male celebrity using his position of power and charisma to sexually assault women and get away with it. The documentary was positively riveting, but the ending left me angry and deflated. Not the producers' fault at all... but a satisfying film leaves one with a gratifying sense of justice having been served as such an evil doer faces--and pays for--the consequences of his actions. Sadly, this was not the case. Not only was Bikram never forced to pay for the damages he caused to so many, OR even criminally charged, he apparently continues to make millions off of more teacher trainings outside of the U.S. (I REALLY hate the fact that he is getting away with it all, now in Mexico, where I presently reside as an expat!) I would really like to see a follow-up film where he is tracked down and finally brought to justice. At least (I do believe) there is a karmic justice that he WILL have to face eventually, whether he believes in it or not. (And clearly, he doesn't!)

So much that takes place in this film is unexplained, ambiguous and utterly confusing. There are many scenes where the viewer is completely unable to suspend disbelief. Such an example is when Clooney is plunged into the frigid waters of the Arctic yet somehow does not die of hypothermia.
