Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanAaron Woolf's we-are-what-we-eat documentary King Corn is a lively introduction to the corn industrial complex.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsA breezy diary from a pair of first-time farmers, as well as a wry rebuke to a nation devoted to eating cheaply but not necessarily well, King Corn makes its points without much finger-wagging.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Janice PageIt's fair to say that a meaner documentary might have packed more punch. But it's hard to imagine Michael Moore turning out anything that feels as pleasantly nourishing.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Walter AddiegoNeatly, and often humorously, summarizes a very unhealthy situation.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marrit IngmanThe film’s light hand, appealing style, and simple exposition make it an eminently watchable inquiry into the politics of food and public health, accessible to the documentary-shy and wildly appropriate for older kids, who may further respond to its generational emphasis.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyThe film always teaches and entertains in equal, ample measure. It's a treat -- and it's good for you.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Andrew O'HehirThankfully, this information arrives via a graceful and frequently humorous film that captures the idiosyncrasies of its characters and never hectors.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by J.R. JonesIn this 2006 entry the insights are worthwhile.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Ann HornadayIt should be required viewing before going into a supermarket, McDonald's or your very own refrigerator.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Zack HaddadA very creative documentary that takes a seemingly dull topic and makes it entertaining.
