Leave your thoughts about The Anthropologist.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe utterly winning documentary The Anthropologist takes a unique perspective on the field of anthropology through the lens of a pair of female anthropologists and their daughters. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAt this point no documentarian can possibly have a fresh take on climate change, right? Wrong. The Anthropologist, a stealthily insightful film by Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger, improbably mixes that topic with a mother-daughter story to produce a distinctive study of change and human adaptability. |
| Village VoiceAmy BradyThe film is saved by its illuminating — if heartbreaking — examination of isolated locales rarely seen on film. |
| User ReviewSebastian OThis documentary is fun, very interesting and extremely well-paced. If provides a genuinely fresh outlook on the much debated topic of climate change and its consequences. It gives a new perspective on the subject leaving the viewer with a profound sense of hope-that-leads-to-action instead of the usual dreaded feeling of paralyzing doom that surrounds this topic. This documentary masterfully weaves its central theme with the story of a family of anthropologists and their craft as applied not only to others but also to themselves, to render a well-layered, easy to understand yet very profound story. A must-see-twice. |
| User ReviewByron BI saw this at the Cleveland International Film Festival. It was made over five years, which gives it an expansive global scale, but also an intimate human focus. The audience is treated to archival footage of Margaret Mead and interview footage of her daughter Mary Bateson, who followed in her mother's footsteps, to explain what an anthropologist is. Then we witness the more personal story of Susie and Katie, another mother/daughter pair. Susie is happy in her career studying other cultures and specifically researching the effect climate change is having on various cultures. During summer breaks from school Katie travels with her mom, seeing the world and observing this career path. Katie is your average American teenager who doesn't want to live the same life as her mother, but does have a natural skill for languages, and over the years develops more respect for the importance of her mother's work. While viewing exotic locations and customs, something not many people get to do, we witness a mother and daughter face universal interpersonal struggles, something everyone can recognize. From the tropics to the tundra, and from the enclosed cocoon of a car to the wide open truly border-less world, this is an intriguing documentary about the crucial problem of climate change. |
