The fjord's water, surrounded by stunning green mountains, is turning blood red. It is the "Grind" season again -- Faroe Islanders' ritual slaughter of pilot whales. Two proud Faroese whalers are on one side, two young and passionate Sea Shepherd activists on the other. A Taste of Whale invites you to see past preconceived positions and question what meat-eating is truly about.

Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is very hard to watch... You know what side the filmmakers are on, obviously, but to their credit they do try to give these people the space to explain themselves. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Claire Shaffer New York Times A refreshingly multidimensional take on the controversy around whale hunting in the Faroe Islands, a tradition that dates back to the 9th century. May 26, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety This solid both-sides-now overview also raises wider questions regarding humanity’s sometimes-hypocritical ethics toward what we eat, where we get it, and how. Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's too obvious what position the filmmakers are taking. It's just not very satisfying as a film. Jun 8, 2022 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Without more compelling central characters, the urgency wanes and you must cut through too much blubber. May 27, 2022 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Both sides of the argument wind up seeming a little narrow-minded. May 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
