Leave your thoughts about The Unforeseen.
| TV GuideKen FoxDunn's elegant, full-length debut presents a frightening and powerful argument against the kind of reckless, profit-driven land development that not only threatens natural resources, but life itself. |
| Time OutJonathan CrockerEven if the director eventually hard-pedals her pantheist imagery into cliché, this inconvenient truth is discreet, intimate and regularly surprising. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordHelmer [Laura] Dunn, though her heart is on her sleeve, gives an even-handed view of things from both sides. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. Addiego[Cinematographer] Daniel has never shot a film for Malick, though you'd hardly guess so, given The Unforeseen's poetic and dreamy shots of nature that, like the images that open the Malick's "The Thin Red Line," hint at an Earthly paradise. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAn unusually poetic and meditative eco-themed documentary, Laura Dunn's The Unforeseen is as beautiful as it is ultimately depressing. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThere’s nothing wrong with Mr. Redford and his love of nature. But there’s something irritatingly softheaded about the generic, nostalgia-tinged blandishments that the film finally resorts to -- a Wendell Berry poem, a grizzled old farmer wielding a sickle -- in place of truly hard questions and solutions that may effect meaningful change. With the polar ice caps melting, I want more than poetry and blame. I want a plan. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThe director makes a convincing case against the extremism of property rights when those rights trample on the needs of the public. |
| Houston ChronicleJoe LeydonBy turns rapturously beautiful and unspeakably sad while considering the consequences of unchecked urban sprawl. |
| FilmjourneyDoug CummingsIt provides a multilayered examination of what it means for society to "develop" and "grow" while depleting its natural resources. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA thought-provoking documentary that's both informative and strangely poignant--as well as beautifully shot and edited. |
