Earth Days Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
John Hartl
If you're feeling nostalgic for a time when the environmental movement was something everyone embraced, Robert Stone's Earth Days is bound to comfort -- and alarm.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Considering the environmental glass houses we've constructed around us, one comes away from Earth Days wondering if it's not past time for some bricks to be slung, metaphorical or otherwise.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
...mostly a celebration of gray eminences who are very satisfied with themselves.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Honoring the heroes of the environmental movement is clearly appropriate, but getting mired in nostalgia is a dirty shame.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Yes, the future still looks grim and whales are hunted here as they are in all such films, but Stone spends most of his time tracking something positive -- the birth of the environmental movement in the '60s and '70s.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
If the aim of Earth Days is to make viewers refall in love with the beauty of this tiny planet, then it succeeds.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
It's hard to watch this movie without feeling a little depressed and despondent about the future of mankind and its home.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Earth Days captures those years when through sheer relentlessness, activists broke through to the public and put the mounting disaster at its doorstep.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A surprisingly engaging ecodocumentary about the history of the American environmental movement from the Depression era up to the present.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
These people, including Whole Earth catalog editor Stewart Brand and 87-year-old former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, are smart and interesting folks who are worth listening to.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A rich trove of news clips and interviews inform Robert Stone's fast-moving documentary about the movement to save the planet and the cultural forces that helped it along or held it back.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Crusty eco-hippies spin random anecdotes about olden times in Earth Days, a turgid documentary on the environmental movement in the 1960s and '70s.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
At once regretful and optimistic, frustrated and proud. Mr. Stone has shown us the way; now all we need is the will.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Once [director] Stone drops the generalities and starts getting specific, Earth Days improves considerably.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A rapturous and enlightening look at the history of the environmental movement in America.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
That Earth Days follows a simple routine in its construction does not detract from the beauty of its earnest design.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
There's great archival footage (those anti-pollution PSAs with Iron Eyes Cody from the '70s remain quite powerful).
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
There's a bit too much of the self-congratulatory in the film, with both Hayes and population growth guru Dennis Meadows doing a fair bit of horn-tooting, but any sense of complacency is quickly undercut by the film's final act.
Variety
Justin Chang
A quietly majestic survey of the hard-won successes and instructive failures of the American environmental movement.
