4/5
"this is a film which, though not always palatable, leaves us with plenty to digest about our place in the food chain."  Film4  Anton Bitel

"[A] return to a more observing style of documentary making as well as an audacious provocation that, in an odd twist, derives it audacity from its lack of explicit point of view."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

"A 21st century naked lunch ... an eye-opener that can actually change the way one views the world"  PopMatters  Chris Barsanti

4/5
"intoxicating"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

4/5
"Our Daily Bread seems to be stunned by the alienation that the workers, settings and, indeed, the products exist in. That's not to stay that scenes of cow and pig guts being spilled out are not also effective. Yeah, I think I'll have the salad."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

2/4
"The Benny's Video of documentary films, Our Daily Bread's only point is to have none. "  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

1/5
"click for external link"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

"Its great political function is its seeming objectivity, a silence in the face of the hypertechnologized food industry that is itself thoroughly interrogatory and demanding."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Leo Goldsmith

3.5/4
"There is so much more going on than simply a morbid curiosity about meat"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

B
"It's as much conceptual art as dispassionate survey of the bloodless assembly line nature of the modern food industry, all process and work, automation and repetition."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
