Before the Flood Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
...an effective and impassioned documentary.
Film-Forward.com
Phil Guie
If the filmmakers had merely enlisted DiCaprio as a narrator, the visual imagery and information would still have been powerful, and important enough, to capture our attention.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
Whether you're a world leader or a mega-movie star, there's little change to be made from preaching to the choir.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
The first half of the film states the climate change problem, the second half lists solutions, including dietary choices like eating less beef. Because of the solutions listed in the film, it isn't as depressing as it otherwise would be.
PopMatters
Alyssa Rasmus
Regardless of what perspective you have going into the film, there's something to learn from DiCaprio's three-year journey in making it.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This is one of many documentaries about climate change; many aren't much fun, but with DiCaprio at its center, this one offers crucial, current information, as well as a measure of hope.
Punch Drunk Critics
Roxana Hadadi
This is well-researched, clearly articulated, and quite frankly terrifying stuff. Before the Flood makes you want to slap people in the face with your knowledge.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It should all resemble a vanity project except for one thing: The film lays out the case for reform with steadfast rigor.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A documentary about Leonardo DiCaprio's three-year journey exploring the causes and dangers of climate change.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
A compelling argument for necessary action to combat climate change.
We Got This Covered
Robert Yaniz, Jr.
Leonardo DiCaprio takes viewers on a global tour exploring the ramifications of - and possible solutions to - climate change, and Before the Flood makes a compelling case for immediate action.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A stunning achievement that despite its understandable inability to ground its critique in the capitalist system that is the root of all our problems, this film is both timely and insightful.
Variety
Andrew Barker
"Before the Flood" may not tackle too much new ground, but given the sincerity of its message, its ability to assemble such a watchable and comprehensive account gives it an undeniable urgency.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Another global warming warning sign, more honorable in its intentions than in having a distinct voice to ultimately make a difference.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
This film promises early on to set itself apart by detailing specific things individuals can do to mitigate the environmental damage, but those suggestions end up being disappointingly few.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Before the Flood" is neither dull screed nor stat-heavy pamphlet, thanks largely to the questing intensity of its marquee guide.
Village Voice
Amy Brady
Frustrating but frequently compelling ...
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
Before the Flood's focus on elite solutionism effectively erases the role of popular agitation in formulating social change.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Flood's filmmakers are intelligent in their use of the biggest asset they have: Not only do they keep their movie star onscreen, they work hard to tie viewers' concern for the environment up with his biography.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
An issue doc that brazenly and effectively trades on its central figure's stardom to agitate for action on a topic that has become a political hot potato.
