Synopsis

An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery. From Stockholm to Hawaii, to the mountainous vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she discovers the roots of her very existence... and the infinite possibilities of life.

    nothing but love for my batshit mother ❤️

  • Review by Adam Waldowski ★★

    For all its soul-searching and spirituality, Out on a Limb could scarcely be more shallow and oblivious. Shirley MacLaine starts things off explaining her wealth and success give her time to focus on higher issues like the nature of existence. In the miniseries' first half, about her inability to sustain a normal relationship, her sniveling is irresistible. She complains about things like how her affair with a married politician keeps her from focusing on her dancing.

    The second half is out of control. She advocates for people who are plainly charlatans that tell her she lived a previous life in Atlantis and that her lover worked with UFOs. The high point comes when her spiritual adviser psychically drives her car…

  • Review by Ruben Quiroga Kanahuaty ★★★★★

    Engrossing and extremely Interesting. An unbelievable hoot. What a foolish woman in love and a fascinating learner and teacher in life.

    I wish I was famous so I could join a new age religion or cult or sing “If My Friends Could See Me Now” when my friend enters a trance while operating a vehicle!!!

  • Review by Swoosie Curtis ★★★

    I love that the first time I watched this I did it in one sitting. I hadn’t seen anything like it. I find it hilarious, charming and inspirational.

  • Review by EliLewy ★★

    Oh Shirley, I'll try not to hold this against you (but it's hard)...

  • Review by Jeffrey Flam

    Giving off strong Goop vibes here.

  • Review by copérnico ★★★★★

    Assistir este filme foi uma experiência incrível, trata-se de uma mulher no mundo da fama que acaba se deparando com um repentino despertar espiritual. Esse momento da vida dela (Shirley MacLaine) foi marcado por muitas dúvidas e mudanças. Ela se coloca a disposição de sair de sua zona de conforto nos EUA para conhecer mais sobre a espiritualidade; e neste momentos percebemos o quanto os EUA não é uma referência de um país com uma religiosidade e espiritualidade vívida, visto que esse país é dominado pelo consumismo capitalista. Ao longo da trama, Shirley conhece John, que logo se torna um grande amigo e guia pelo caminho da espiritualidade. John leva Shirley para o Peru, onde ocorre a sua mudança total…
