"Sweetie" I've not seen, but your thumbs up for the beginning of "Holy Smoke" made me YouTube it. Yes, that shaktipat trickery is quite a fun scene, but the movie didn't live up to the opening promise for me. I recall one film reviewer on the TV here calling Holly Hunter "a completely pointless actress" (!) but that lack of affect she can display works in her favour in this series. You really get the feeling for "UG's" unnerving unpredictability.
