All the Rage (Saved by Sarno)

2016

Documentary, Self: Jonathan Ames, Larry David, Tom Harkin ...

Documentary. Drama America is experiencing an epidemic of pain. One man has the answer to the problem yet the medical establishment has ignored him. For nearly 50 years, Dr. John Sarno has been single-handedly battling the pain epidemic by focusing on the mind-body connection and the nature of stress and the manifestation of physical ailments.

	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An unpolished but effective call for attention to ideas that buck the medical establishment (...) The film offers less detail than it should about how he became a best-selling author"	NEU
United States	Gary Garrison The Playlist	"A biased look at a marginalized doctor (...) [It] fails to coalesce into anything substantial (...) It is frustrating, though, to see Galinsky’s story sidelined, used only in service of another, less worthy tale."	NEG
United States	Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader	"The film serves as an introduction to Sarno's mind-body approach to wellness but underplays the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation."	NEU
United States	Ken Jaworowski The New York Times	"'All the Rage' overrides most of its shortcomings by keeping a breezy tone and by showing Dr. Sarno to be a convincing speaker, as well as an affable and somewhat crusty character (...) The introduction alone is valuable enough."	POS
United States	Daphne Howland Village Voice	"Celebrity testimonials drown out the scientists, and Galinsky’s haphazard exploration of his own back pain is a major distraction."	NEG
