Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA documentary about Leonardo DiCaprio's three-year journey exploring the causes and dangers of climate change.
New York Times - 9/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe film wants to spur individual changes in behavior, but there’s a fair amount in it that might discourage you from even trying.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenThe first half of the film states the climate change problem, the second half lists solutions, including dietary choices like eating less beef. Because of the solutions listed in the film, it isn't as depressing as it otherwise would be.
New Statesman - 8/10 by India BourkeIf you want a whistlestop tour of all things climate change then this necessary and urgent film is the movie for you. But those hoping it will give new depth to climate activism will be disappointed.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by John DeForeWhile those of us who've seen dozens of similar docs could name plenty that taught or moved or enraged us more, Flood's filmmakers are intelligent in their use of the biggest asset they have: Not only do they keep their movie star onscreen, they work hard to tie viewers' concern for the environment up with his biography.
AwardsCircuit.com - 8/10 by Shane SlaterA compelling argument for necessary action to combat climate change.
Excelsior - 8/10 by Lucero SolórzanoA propositive documentary that invites to an urgent change of habits of consumption and life in general. [Full review in Spanish]
We Got This Covered - 8/10 by Robert Yaniz Jr.The obvious political agenda behind Before the Flood may turn off those who still maintain that climate change is a myth, but the evidence presented in the film should at least cause open-minded viewers to rethink their position on the issue.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Alyssa RasmusRegardless of what perspective you have going into the film, there's something to learn from DiCaprio's three-year journey in making it.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThis is one of many documentaries about climate change; many aren't much fun, but with DiCaprio at its center, this one offers crucial, current information, as well as a measure of hope.
