| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldAwe-inspiring, poignant docu tracks decline of coral reefs. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireLike Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and Louis Psihoyos’ “The Cove” in years past, the film makes a powerful case less through argument than by using cinema’s most basic tool: visual proof. |
| TheWrapSam FragosoChasing Coral is not impartial. It’s staunchly pro-life, in the truest sense of the term. |

| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyEven for those limited to swimming virtually among parrot fish and sea turtles over vast marine ecosystems of astonishing color and complexity, this superbly crafted documentary is likely to wield an unexpected emotional charge. |
| POV MagazineJason GorberJeff Orlowski's work transcends any of its filmmaking shortcomings by serving its primary intent: rallying the troops, informing the public, and bringing to light the very real challenges the Earth's oceans are facing. |

| AwardsCircuit.comAlan FrenchThe message is strong, and the imagery is memorable throughout. However, with the glut of climate change documentaries, it scary to think this one could get lost in the fray. |
| FF2 MediaAmelie LaskerFor its encouraging and essential message, this documentary is a must-see. |
