Lana Wilson, known for After Tiller and Miss Americana, delves into the heart of the psychic profession, offering an intimate view of conversations between psychics and their clients. The documentary uncovers the true nature of the craft, not only through the sessions but also by exploring the inevitable human condition of the mediums themselves—vulnerable, indecisive, and erratic, yet equally dedicated, empathetic, and full of humor.
A24 produces this feature that challenges stereotypes about the practice of spiritual consulting. It achieves a conscious balance that satisfies both skeptics and believers, documenting with minimal intervention while still embracing the more unconventional aspects of the profession, such as animal psychics. Despite being set in the bustling city of New York, the documentary unfolds as an intimate and poetic piece, captivating even the most skeptical among us.
