When a NYC journalist's life crashes and burns, she becomes infatuated with a celebrity guru, and begins a wild journey of love and grand larceny. Running from her past, Parker Schafer, hits rock bottom. Her longtime boyfriend dumps her and returns to his ex-wife. In a drug fueled downward spiral, she blows up her career and reputation in a spectacular act of self-sabotage, giving her best friend and boss no choice but to fire her. With nothing to lose, Parker reluctantly tries a remote wellness retreat with the famed Guru Shuroo. Over three days, a diverse group of unlikely characters are brought together through Shuroo's process: digital detox, meditation, gas lighting, mescaline trips... fraud! However, the spell soon lifts and Parker uncovers a story that will expose Shuroo. The scoop could put her back on top! But will she find redemption? THE SHUROO PROCESS explores the dangers of the cultish self-help industry and what it's like to fall prey to its promises of transformation.

3.5/5
A sharply pointed sense of humour infuses this comedy-drama about a frazzled journalist on a self-actualisation weekend. Go to Full Review Benjamin Franz Film Threat 11/24/2021
8/10
Ultimately, a showcase of acting and storytelling comes down to the strength of both the narrative and the performance. The Shuroo Process provides us with wonderful examples of both. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media 11/23/2021
3/5
This meandering film has strong performances, but the uncommitted plot doesn't definitively answer questions about society's obsession with gurus. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jay C @RT84179664 08/24/2024 Fiona Dourif is one of the most talented actors you'll encounter, but somehow she keeps ending up in terrible films. Watch this for her and ignore everything else about it, which is all bad. See more Read all reviews
