| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisNonetheless, the film's homespun quality (Ms. Canty, whose childlike voice provides intermittent narration, simply describes herself in the publicity notes as "the mom of four kids") works in its favor, as does its maker's agitated sincerity. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryKristin Canty's surprisingly engrossing documentary, a worthy addition to the growing annals of movies and books advocating for sustainable farming methods. |
| Boston PhoenixChris FaraoneCanty is hardly an ignorant Jenny McCarthy-style alarmist. Rather, she's a concerned citizen asking questions about why federal and state food regulators are less interested in science than Texas Republicans. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt's an eye-popping wake-up call revealing how the USDA and FDA have increasingly waged war on America's small farmers even when they can prove they are contributing healthful products to our food supply. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierFarmageddon quite piquantly raises questions about the dim figures who determine what's suitable for national consumption, but it's more eloquently an ode to a group of dysfunctional, if essential, underground misfits. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibRacks up damning anecdotal evidence without substantially altering the discussion. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonInteresting and often compelling, and a must-see for organic food zealots. |
| New York PressMark PeikertFor a film about the benefits of natural food and raw milk, there is ironically nothing organic about Farmageddon. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyThe one-sidedness of Farmageddon isn't just an artistic failing. It's an argumentative failing, too. |
| User ReviewKristin RThe film is clear in its message. The ultimate deception and unabashed control of the USDA and U.S. government on our food supply is breathtaking. It is sad that some of the professional critics chose to wave their obviously bloated egos in an attempt to discredit the film. How can anyone listen to the story about the sheep farmers in VT and NOT remember what they must have gone through? Wake up people. What a sad state of affairs this all is. Most go through their lives, turning a blind eye to the injustices of what is happening within the farming and agriculture industry "because it doesn't pertain to them". Scientific experiments which have and will further affect our health and the health of future generations. And we sleep. As Thomas Jefferson was quoted in the opening moments of this extraordinary film, "If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Well said. And THAT folks, is exactly what is happening. Like it or not. Sound asleep or not. This film helps to wake us up, if we just will take notice. Bravo! |
