Eating Animals is the feature-length documentary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name. The film reveals through intimate narratives what has happened to our country in the past 40 years as we have moved away from traditional farming communities to massive industrial farming complexes that produce a seemingly endless supply of so-called "cheap" meat, eggs, and dairy. What starts out as a simple question - where does our meat come from... (Full plot summary below)

Eating Animals is the feature-length documentary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name. The film reveals through intimate narratives what has happened to our country in the past 40 years as we have moved away from traditional farming communities to massive industrial farming complexes that produce a seemingly endless supply of so-called "cheap" meat, eggs, and dairy. What starts out as a simple question - where does our meat come from? - quickly takes us down the rabbit hole of today's industrial animal agriculture and becomes an exploration of the ultimate stakes of eating animals, the destruction of farming, and the complete unwinding of the American mythos.
Leave your thoughts about Eating Animals.
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinAnyone who has ever had a relationship with an animal will be given pause by the film, and it might lead more of us to consider the moral cost of our supper. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe mission of Eating Animals isn’t to get you to swear off meat (though I’m sure the filmmaker and the narrator would applaud that). It’s to raise your consciousness about the good, the bad and the ugly of animal agriculture. |
| Paste MagazineAmy GlynnThis film is basically 100% about message, and that message is a dire one. There are probably people who will accuse this film of propagandizing or sensationalizing or exaggerating, but from what I can tell, that’s not particularly the case. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonThe broad observations aren't especially insightful, although the film gains traction with some powerful anecdotes from whistleblowers and others fighting a corrupt system. |
| Arizona RepublicSamantha IncorvaiaFrom this film, viewers will see a never-ending domino effect on agriculture's effect on the environment, quality in produce and overall health of the animals and the humans that consume them. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiThe effect is that you don't always know what the finer points of the documentary are beyond "eating animals = bad." However, that message comes across clearly. |
| SlateInkoo KangPortman’s voiceover performance is full of conviction, but I wish that Eating Animals gave us different models of vegetarianism than she and Foer, a diminutive actress and a bookish Brooklynite, respectively. |
| SF WeeklyPeter Lawrence KaneEating Animals is not fodder for pious vegans... At its heart, it wants us to feel good about eating meat that has been raised responsibly, with dignity and care. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonWord of warning: Don’t go to the theater with a full stomach. Some of the images of animal abuse are graphic and hard to watch, although this is rather tame compared with other documentaries on the same subject. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanEating Animals is a thought-provoking documentary that will make people think twice about the food they put in their mouth. |
