Movies that feel like Kumaré (2012)
A documentary about a man who impersonates a wise Indian Guru and builds a following in Arizona. At the height of his popularity, the Guru Kumaré must reveal his true identity to his disciples and unveil his greatest teaching of all.
If you loved Kumaré, the closest films we have are Marwencol (2010), Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (2011) and The Overnighters (2014). All three share Kumaré's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Dog (2013).

Documentary built on stillness, twice over
Contemplative documentary, and it commits to that
Leans harder into drama than Kumaré does
Cut from the same documentary cloth
Documentary approached the same way
Both working the same documentary territory
Documentary in the same key
Both know what they want from documentary
The same documentary instincts
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
Documentary of the same temperament
Both are documentary through and through
