(1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1   A- "Even if you think global warming is a bunch of malarkey you'll at least be reassured that Gore is not a robotic government android."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B- "Inconvenient Truth might not be to everyone's tastes, but it's trying to do something positive in a time when forward thinking always seems to be punished."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "This may be the first documentary in memory that will have audiences clamoring, "More hard data! More charts!""   ToxicUniverse.com   Chris Barsanti A "Director Davis Guggenheim expands Gore's highly polished multimedia lecture into dramatic form with personal footage of Gore that exemplifies his 40-year commitment to a subject that is consuming our Earth."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Gore's insistent, motivated sense of morality has finally found an outlet, even making use of skills honed over years of campaigning -- parrying, querying, quipping. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B "I doubt if this film can save the planet, but it speaks volumes for Gore's political future as his public profile is given a much needed makeover."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "While the preaching is to the converted, the sheer organization, massing and clarity appear conclusive, and the youngish onscreen attendees nod in agreement."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2/4 "Has its heart in the right place but overall the film stands as a one-track doomsday warning with too little substance to achieve its intended effect."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/5 "Un documental contundente y alarmante que, de la mano de un preocupado y convincente Al Gore, se convierte en un verdadero llamado a la acción."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "This isn't a 'fun' film, per se, but it never ceases to be fascinating and eye-opening."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "Pertenece a ese raro género de documental donde el mensaje eclipsa todo lo demás."   Doncinema.com   Flavio J. Arosemena B+ "From a 'legal' perspective, Gore presents a strong case...well worth seeking out, inviting others to, and debating afterward."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Gore's "traveling global warming show" brims over with insight, idealism, and hope."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The clarity and simplicity of the presentation is remarkable. Gore is a likable, confident, humorous speaker. And the material reminds us of the need for vigilance."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "An Inconvenient Truth makes a powerful argument that only the willfully deaf will fail to hear."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3.5/4 "Illuminating and distressing...a grave message indeed."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "The movie is the message, and it's worth seeing."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3.5/4 "Voters who perceived Gore as a stiff, bland politician hen-pecked by the issues and unable to connect to his audience may be pleased by this makeover."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 5/5 "This is nothing short of life-changing; a film that needs to be seen by every single person on this planet."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi "Powerful, illuminating, and devastating. If as moviemaking it sometimes slips, as consciousness-raising it is must-see material."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 5/5 "The truth hurts."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 5/5 "While it is a sobering film, it is not depressing...there might be more fun ways to spend your summer afternoon, but Gore infuses his talk with much more than just, as he calls it, a nature hike through the Book of Revelations."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 1/5 "The film makes [Gore] out to be a bigger martyr and a better savior than Jesus Christ, himself."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr A- "What one comes away with hoping for the future is that we do not look back on Al Gore as we look back now on Eisenhower ("Why We Fight") or Edward R. Murrow ("Good Night, and Good Luck") - as a man who gave a warning unheeded. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "As a film, An Inconvenient Truth falls somewhere between an auditorium survey class and a stump speech, and if it covers no new ground, it benefits greatly from Gore's air of educated sobriety and principled rectitude ..."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "A vitally important lesson, told in bland charts and alarming images."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "[Y]ou don't need to like Gore, or trust him, or even believe him to get a swift kick in the pants, one that'll scare the hell out of you..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/5 "Every responsible, thinking American should see this film."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. A- "Gore's somewhat stiff but clearly deeply felt delivery turns out to be just right for this material. Anything else would sound shrill and shriek-y."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow B "Cinematic brussel sprouts."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 0/5 "A 96-minute political commercial supporting the deification of Al Gore."   Film Threat   Phil Hall 4/5 "This is urgent, important stuff that simply can't be ignored--or left to the politicians--any longer."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "It's hard to make a visually compelling narrative out of 100 minutes of a 58-year-old man talking about carbon-dioxide emissions, but director Davis Guggenheim does it."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "The ultimate effect of An Inconvenient Truth is not unlike looking down the barrel of a loaded gun."   Stranger Song   Rob Humanick B "If you are unfamiliar with this issue, or are a sheltered dittohead, this film is a good primer on arguments supporting the idea of global warming."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "An Inconvenient Truth may be considered by some as liberal ranting by Al Gore, but Davis Guggenheim and all make a good case for his doomsday claims."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/4 "It's a "must see, then go and do" film."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 9/10 "Relevant and persuasive, it's a convincing plea for activism."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "I'm recommending what is essentially a non-film because I agree with its politics and I'd like for more people to agree with me than disagree."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 3.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1
