Quotes:
Alvin DuVernay:
In my opinion our use or misuse of resources the last 100 years or so, I'd probably rename that age, something like The Age of Ignorance, The Age of Stupid.

The film doesn't use statistics or predictions to show the affects and causes of climate change, we're at the stage where it can just honestly show peoples' stories and the increasingly facile dilemmas of modern life to convey how we're walking into serious problems.
It is really powerful, it's one of those rare moments where after the film ends you just stay silently frozen to your seat in awe. The lush graphics, the excellent acting by Pete and the reality of the stories makes this film, as cliché as it is, totally unmissable.
Those who don't like this film I can only conclude are just scared, scared that if they're wrong they will be catastrophically wrong and live in such a way selfish way in which they can only feel threatened by the change needed to be more climate considerate in their lives.
