- 80Village VoiceErnest HardyVillage VoiceErnest HardyA documentary that is by turns exasperating, illuminating, and intentionally infuriating.
- With the cinematography and its family-centric approach, it takes what could have been a dry subject and broadens its appeal.
- 70Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIf forewarned is forearmed, Seifert's movie might one day prove quite prescient.
- 60The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisTo the informed consumer hoping for greater elucidation, Mr. Seifert’s partisan, oversimplified survey falls short.
- 40Time OutTime OutWhy anyone would think that home movies of the director and his kids belong in a social-issues doc is a truly WTF question.
- 25RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsYou could get mad at Seifert for being so bad at being so nakedly manipulative. Or you could just give up all hope, and counter-intuitively root for Monsanto. This is a David-vs.-Goliath movie, but David's aim is so spotty that Goliath has nothing to fear.
- 20The DissolveNick SchagerThe DissolveNick SchagerWhat’s proffered isn’t a scientific argument against a burgeoning agro-industrial movement, but an emotional, quasi-spiritual case about humanity's relationship with the environment.
