Icaros: A Vision (2017)
In search of a miracle, an American woman embarks on a journey to the Peruvian Amazon and finds hope in a community, through rituals involving an ancient psychedelic plant known as ayahuasca. With her perception forever altered, she forges a bond with a young indigenous shaman undergoing a crisis of his own, and a motley crew of psychonauts seeking transcendence, companionship, and the meaning of life and death.

Good movie but grossly overrated
The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This film is like a breath of fresh air. I do not know how to write detailed reviews. I will simply say that this film cleared my brain and something else deep inside me. It's like I heard a long forgotten song. Strong, original product.
It has good compositions. It has a good idea. It is not a very good movie. The after effects elements thrown in for a surrealistic effect fall a bit flat. The acting was fine, using non-professionals was a good choice. The main character seemed to resemble a 2x4 but maybe thats why shes in the forest trying to figure herself out. Its fine that this movie had no real risk or conflict but its pacing and narrative can't save it from being a vapid experience at the end.
