Apr 7, 2019 This is an intimate documentary as co-director Michael Galinsky explores his personal history to get to the root of his back pain problems. Yes, a person's mental state can cause physical pain. This is the "radical" theory that was promoted by Dr. John Sarno -- which isn't really radical except in our over-medicated Western society. Luckily, Galinsky -- and his partners Suki Hawley and David Beilinson -- began this project while Dr. Sarno was alive, so he appears significantly in the film. Also in the film are some of his more famous patients such as Howard Stern and Larry David. This is a great film that doesn't follow in the typical footsteps of medical documentaries, which is fitting given Dr. Sarno's non-traditional approach to medicine. Fascinating stuff.

Weï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)re so brainwashed that there is something wrong with us and the truth is, weï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)ve adopted those beliefs but the only thing that needs attention are our emotions and thought!! Brilliant and eye opening documentary! Thank you! See more Jul 26, 2018 The fact that the body and mind are indelibly linked may seem like conventional wisdom but it is an idea that isn't given much currency within US medicine. At least that has been my experience. A friend recommended this movie after I had been complaining about excruciating back pain for some time. After months of struggling to figure out the correct course of treatment I was surprised at what the film laid out. Essentially, I started to embrace some of the ideas in the film and after several weeks I started to feel much better. Beyond feeling personally connected to the subject matter the film is a tightly told story that follows the journey of the filmmaker as he engages his subject. This can be dangerous territory if not done correctly and 'All the Rage' really pulls it off. It wouldn't have been possible for the film to reach the emotional highs it pulls off if handled like a regular bio-pic. It is at once funny, infuriating and life affirming.

The film works on many levels bringing us into a personal story of the film maker's relationship to chronic pain as well as the medical industry's refusal to step outside it's bottom line ethics. It shows the resignation that many people have and the mindset that we are not in control of our own bodies and just how much faith we put into the medical industry that offers drugs and cutting instead of looking inside of ourselves and dealing with our emotional pain. A truly beautiful universal documentary with AMAZING photographic moments - stunning and moving. As someone that has also experienced two intense episodes of extreme back pain (that left me literally floored, for days and that came out of nowhere) I feel like this film was more helpful than any medical advice I got that just left me frustrated. HIGHLY recommended especially to the skeptics of the mind body connection! See more Jan 26, 2018 Through one man's journey, we see how Sarnos philosophy can help with chronic pain. There's no one formula and everyone's journey through healing is different, yet all the same. See more Oct 11, 2017 This film's message is based on the findings of Dr.John Sarno, showing the mind body connection. Anyone with any type of pain or ailment should see this film and/or read Dr.Sarnos books. It is life changing and shows you that our healthcare and pain management systems are completely irrelevant and dated. I know this all to be true from my own personal experience. I can't express how important this film is. A MUST SEE!!! The negetive reviews are totally missing the point. See more Read all reviews
