Leave your thoughts about The End of the Line.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe End of the Line's most topical hook is its exploration of bluefin tuna, which, as a sushi delicacy, is sometimes called the "most expensive meat on the planet." |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanSpells out the problem in clear, urgent, prosaic terms. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDocuments what threatens to become an irreversible decline in aquatic populations within 40 years. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisA free-form splash of jaw-dropping graphs, impressively accredited talking heads, and sumptuously shot portraits of natural beauty and decay, overdramatically scored to symphonic and other intense musical attacks. |
| The New York TimesNathan LeeWell-researched and generally evenhanded in its delivery of information (Ted Danson provides the narration), the movie more than makes its points without needing to resort to a montage of adorable fish being bashed on the head. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAn apocalyptic documentary that is as beautiful as it is damning. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe movie does present solutions, including its urging of consumer demand for more accountability from restaurants and the building of marine reserves. |
| VarietyJustin ChangIn 82 minutes, Murray wrangles enough data to make his point that biology can't keep up with sophisticated fishing technologies and worldwide demand; attacks high-end restaurants such as Nobu for putting endangered species on the menu; praises Alaska as a paragon of responsible fishing. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyWhat's a fish-lover to do? For starters, know where your fish comes from. Don't consume endangered species. After watching this film, you may never want to eat fish again. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThis movie wants to cover every base without thinking very deeply about them. So while a lot of ground is covered in 80 brisk minutes, the information presented is only abstractly useful. |
