B
"Runs a little dry here and there when swamped in the particulars, but its message is a valuable one; a stirring call to arms where passion outweighs realism, but it makes for eye-opening conversation nonetheless."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"will no doubt find a better home in lecture halls and classrooms than it will in the bustling landscape of arthouse theatergoing."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

"As Food, Inc. shows, these pretty, red, genetically engineered tomatoes are signs of a dodgy future already here."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

B
"The message is that it's up to the consumer to change things in the food industry."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B+
"You're unlikely to look at the stuff on the shelves of your supermarket in quite the same way ever again...probably won't be seen by many consumers, but it deserves to be."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

4/5
"A bracing and disturbing documentary about the industrialization of farming, the dangers of genetically modified food, and the growing power of the unregulated Big Agriculture."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/4
"a frightening film, easily one of the most important of the recent spate of socially conscious documentaries"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

A-
"the film can help more consumers realize that "cheaper" food is NOT necessarily a bargain"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

4.5/5
"His film shows us ugly, faceless corporate greed and its truly fatal consequences, but gives us tools to dismantle or at least throttle back the machine %u2013 and hopefully solve some of the world's ills as well."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

B+
"If this documentary does not change your mind about how to procure the food you eat, nothing will."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3.5/5
"Be prepared when seeing this film: you'll ponder the old adage about being what you eat."  Film Threat  Matthew Sorrento

B
"One shocking segment of the film follows the story of Moe Parr, a man legally hounded out of his business of cleaning seeds. He is a victim of laws which allow seed patents which are leading to corporate seed monopolies."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

3/4
"It's an "Inconvenient Truth" for food, minus the droning Al Gore and a handful of PowerPoint slides."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell

9/10
"Stomach-churning yet persuasively necessary - but don't plan to go out to dinner after viewing this graphic documentary."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

8/10
"Essential viewing for anyone with even a slight interest in the quality and substance of their health and food, which darn well ought to include everybody."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
