Movie Reviews

Nonfics - 10/10 by Dan SchindelThe personal and the universal are combined in one, the very best that documentary can accomplish.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by David HughesSome of his Salgado's depictions of human suffering are not for the faint-hearted but, like this fine film, demand to be seen. Unmissable.
MLive.com - 10/10 by John SerbaA reminder that human nature is inextricably entwined with nature itself, and is therefore as capable of creation as it is destruction.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniThe Salt of the Earth, has the power to draw you into its world, transfix, and perhaps eventually transform you.
Tolucan Times - 10/10 by Tony Medley... a picture of the brutal life of survival in the worlds far beyond our shores...disasters, international conflicts, starvation, and exodus, even showing the Zo'é tribe hunting in the uncharted rainforest...a mesmerizing film not to be missed.
New York Post - 10/10 by Sara StewartMany of the images — and Salgado’s accounts of taking them — are as soul-shattering as they are breathtaking.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranThe Salt of the Earth deals with two kinds of journeys the photographer made. The outward one may have literally taken him to the furthest corners of the Earth and resulted in the stunning images the film features, but it is the inward journey that paralleled it that completely holds our attention.
Columbus Alive - 9/10 by Brad KeefeThe ubiquitous "Ken Burns effect" of panning and zooming across still images is mercifully absent here. The result feels more like an exhibit.
ScreenAnarchy - 9/10 by Jason GorberAs a celebration of the photographic art of one remarkable contributor, The Salt of the Earth is unparallelled.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin..., professionally realized and appreciative, a humanist gloss on a major talent. It's a good film, not a great one, that might have benefited from a little more distance from its admittedly charming subject.
