Cool It Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Cool It offers no new insights into the internecine debates in enviro-policy.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Some of it sounds, quite frankly, nuts. And a few of Lomborg's enemies have said as much. But throwing tons of money at the problem with little result? That also sounds kind of crazy.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
It can be a little hard to digest so many ideas, especially in such rapid succession. The movie is never boring, but there may be some information overload for laymen in the audience.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It's hard, too, to shake the sense that Lomborg is promoting more than just a different perspective on climate debate. He's promoting his book -- and himself.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Blond, boyish and with an irrepressible faith in human adaptability, Mr. Lomborg is the anti-Gore.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
It's been five years since Gore warned us that we only have 10 years to fix global warming -- hey, Al, my apartment is near the Hudson River. Wanna bet it's still above water in 2015?
Seattle Times
John Hartl
A wide-ranging, sometimes scattered new documentary that's positioned as a four-years-later answer to Al Gore's 2006 Oscar winner, "An Inconvenient Truth."
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
By bringing in a diverse group of big thinkers to take part in a very animated, sometimes agitated, discussion, the filmmaker has succeeded in bringing what could have been a very dry mountain of data, theories and experimental research to vibrant life.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
On one level, this is one filmmaker thumbing her nose at another. Unfortunately, a lot of what was wrong with Guggenheim's movie is wrong with Timoner's.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The telegenic Lomborg is the on-camera ''star'' of the show, while his angry critics growl on cue.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Cool It fights propaganda with propaganda, accepting Lomborg's work at face value while giving little time to the many scientists who have taken issue with him.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
It cogently and persuasively lays out its obvious, and yet far-from-embraced, thesis.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
Cool It resonates, and gives one pause not just to consider the merits of the global warming question, but to consider the merits of all that we've decided to do about it, impending doom notwithstanding.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Lomborg (with an assist from Timoner's straightforward, uncomplicated doc) is the voice of reason. Calm down, listen to what he has to offer, and then get to work. Apparently, it's not too late. Whew.
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
Climate change doc overreaches its attempt at relevance.
Village Voice
Nicolas Rapold
Lomborg sounds like an infomercial huckster, down to the vow to have money for "all the remaining problems of the world" thanks to his low, low price for managing global warming.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Chris Foran
Unfortunately, "Cool It," even with its better ideas, too often feels like just more talking.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
It's merely fighting propaganda with more propaganda.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
[Bjorn] Lomborg is an affable and persuasive advocate ...
Boston Phoenix
Brett Michel
Lomborg might not interact with his detractors, but at least he finds time for monthly visits to his Alzheimer's-stricken mom.
