Anthropocene: The Human Epoch Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
The film's stunning visuals of these and other impacted places, particularly the aerial shots, capture an abstract imagery that is at once beautiful and horrifying.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Rarely has a film about the end of the world looked as beautiful as this as directors Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky utilize the widescreen format to brilliant effect, starkly capturing the size and scope of the devastation they capture.
OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois)
Linda Cook
hat have we done to ourselves? The documentary 'Anthropocene: The Human Epoch' answers that in a disturbing way.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Quiet narration from the impeccably elegant but sympathetic Alicia Vikander provides the perfect accompaniment; never shrill or angry, just stating the facts.
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
This powerful, poetic film shows the stunning beauty (and horrific impact) of humanity's creations as we leave the Holocene Epoch and enter the Anthropocene.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It's strongest, however, as a dizzying, dimensional tour of scale and time, forcing us to wonder how a sense of earth-centric balance can be restored.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
At times, more information would be preferable; in other scenes, images speak volumes without words. But as advocacy, the movie is potent and frequently terrifying.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
It is important to remind people - again and again and again - that we can't continue to treat the planet like this.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
The plate of vegetables that it sounds like, but its cinematography and passion for our planet make a strong case for your attention.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
This one of those docs that is built on the notions that seeing is believing and actions speak louder than words.
Hyperallergic
Laura Leavitt
Anthropocene's non-didactic approach makes space for the viewer's own thoughts, letting them meditate on their place in the planet it's presenting.
The Spool
Matt Cipolla
[T]he narration feels out of place for this visually sumptuous trip and its flashcard-like info doesn't really mesh with the sensory film it's trying to be.
Nonfics
Luke Hicks
Astonishment. Pure, lurid, ravishing, genuine astonishment. That is Anthropocene: The Human Epoch.
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
Masterfully detailed, captivating you visually with a subtle yet haunting musical layer to tell a difficult yet necessary story.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
This is a movie that provides visually pure and beautifully photographed proof of the danger in which people are putting the planet.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Charles Solomon
This is a very beautiful movie, but there is a difference between bombarding an audience with images and actually telling them something.
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
We're used to documentaries that celebrate gorgeous scenes of the natural world, but "Anthropocene: The Human Epoch" adds a discomfiting twist, presenting beautiful images of some of the ugliest things that humans are doing to the planet.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Epic, grimly statistical, with just a smidgen of cautious optimism about the planet so gravely altered by humanity
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
As the filmmakers release us from our trance, we emerge concerned, horrified, but hopefully motivated to do something.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
The [team's] latest film is the culmination of a major body of work and it's as visually stunning and intellectually invigorating as the previous two films are.
