Leave your thoughts about Mardi Gras: Made in China.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsDirector David Redmon earns accolades galore for crafting a dmning expose' which brilliantly contrasts the plight of exploited Asian females with the embarrassing behavior of drunks and bimbos floating up Bourbon Street on Fat Tuesday. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerThis investigative literal and figurative global chain reaction appears to be yet another exceptionally worthy addition to the evolving genre of what may be termed anti-globalization cinema. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaA thought-provoking, canny piece of filmmaking that puts flesh, blood and garish multicolored baubles on the skeleton of globalization. |
| New York TimesLaura KernWith any luck, this film will manage to open a few closed eyes (or minds). |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAn obviously sincere but didactically repetitive documentary. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorSmart, witty look at the human cost of free-market reforms and globalization. |
| User ReviewSam BI viewed this film over five years ago and it's still lodged in my memory every time I go and purchase any product. If a film can have that sort of impact on me, it deserves 5 stars automatically. |
| User ReviewAlicia RProbably the best documentary I have ever seen--interesting, informative, but the filmmaker allows you to form your own opinion about the subject, which is great (I find that many documentaries are way too "in your face" and therefore obnoxious). Keep your eyes open for the part with the priest... hilarious! |
| User ReviewZombie-Yaz SIf you buy anything made in China (which is pretty much EVERYTHING) then you should check this one out. Pretty soon, we'll ALL be making those little black teddy bears that say "Hail to the dictator!" |
| User ReviewPaula BSince I lived in New Orleans for several years, I was really excited to see this documentary. This documentary showed, with one example of the production of Mardi Gras beads, why the USA is seriously losing its grip on reality, and on the world economy. |
