Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Gary GoldsteinThough this narrative device can feel a bit gimmicky and grandiose, it also provides a visual and emotional power that drives home this absorbing film's crucial cautionary message.
MovieTime, ABC Radio National - 7/10 by Ruth HesseySo tightly constructed and dynamic you leave the cinema energised rather than terrified and depressed.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Andrew SchenkerCommunicates something of the massive global impact of our careless, though officially encouraged, consumption, even if Armstrong's outsized ambitions threaten to dissipate some of the movie's force.
ColeSmithey.com - 6/10 by Cole SmitheyEducational and inventive, the documentary speaks with a strong editorial voice from a backward-looking vantage point. It's a narrative device that proves most effective.
New York Times - 5/10 by Stephen HoldenA frightening jeremiad about the effects of climate change.
Film Journal International - 5/10 by Sarah SluisAn eye-opening look at individual contributions to global warming.
User Review - 10/10 by Stuart SThis film has endured in my psyche more perhaps than any other film I have ever seen. It is a wonderful wake-up call to humans to get their act together quickly or suffer the unthinkable consequences of runaway climate change, also know as 'the Venus Syndrome'. Far more important than even Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, which started to wake us up. I am only saddened that this movie did not get the play it deserved, perhaps due to missteps in its distribution.
User Review - 10/10 by Melissa HI just saw this. One of Pete Postlewaite's last movies. A great way to present the issue of global warming and environmental damage.
