The Hand That Feeds Ratings & Reviews
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Happy endings aren't necessarily uplifting.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A moving story about hope rising among the neglected and mistreated, about people banding together for a common good, and about the value of strength and perseverance.
UR Chicago Magazine
John Esther
Members of the working and shrinking middle classes will have plenty to gain by investing in the price of a movie ticket to view this documentary.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A rousing documentary and the most hopeful political film of 2015 about the triumph of a small union.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
Unfortunately, directors Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick have squandered a worthy subject.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Often, simple ideals get lost in the frequently overheated political rhetoric about immigration, jobs, and supporting American business. "The Hand That Feeds" puts those issues back on the table in a movie about a small group who scores a big victory.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
It has a beautiful, low-key approach that earns its cheers and tears without resorting to the manipulative or dramatic tricks of a typical feature film.

A "Salt of the Earth" for 2015 with a bagel shop instead of a zinc mine serving as the terrain of struggle. "The Hand that Feeds" could not be better--a masterpiece.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"The Hand That Feeds" is an effective portrayal of the intricacies of activism - and of a situation in which victories seem all too brief.

How do you say Norma Rae in Spanish?
The Dissolve
Jen Chaney
As it stands, The Hand That Feeds is an illuminating sidebar to the conversations around the U.S. economy and immigration reform.
Village Voice
Diana Clarke
Lpez is a singularly tender, compelling, and articulate campaigner in this high-stakes struggle for justice, filmed with the urgency and suspense of a Hitchcock thriller.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The Hand That Feeds is an impassioned socially themed documentary that may even succeed in swaying a few hearts and minds.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This is engaging nonfiction storytelling, deftly edited for maximum suspense and heartening in its depiction of collective endeavor.
PopMatters
Chris Barsanti
...the necessary record of a fight for the most basic sorts of human rights.
