Ileo K The style of this “documentary” is bad. It’s difficult to get through. It’s a 40 minute show with a marginally interesting message stretched by so much fluff that I wanted to tear my own arm off and beat myself with it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Trisco L The documentary highlights the major issues we have as a society living in a world where we need to buy the items we don't really need to buy. The only disappointing this is that one of the interviewees, Eric talks about how big corporations need to change what they do and started a company about building plant based consumer goods such as apparel and footwear, only to be bought by a large brand, and he is named as the EVP of brand and strategy. Sometimes, the story is just the story and its now up to people to make the change. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Kathryn M Felt compelled by the former Amazon-worker gal and others who did investigation work. If the last 20 minutes pitched ideas to solve this issue, that would've been so much more empowering. I learned of this doc because someone on Reddit Zero Waste motioned it, I thought they'd at least mentioned the zero waste lifestyle by name... nope. Glad I watched it but it needed more in 'the solutions' sector. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Michael W This shopping documentary was really good. The crew did an excellent job on making this documentary about what successful companies do to attract customers into buying their products and what goes on behind the scenes. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It'll teach everything you need to know on how to shop smart. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Mickey R An important topic that was let down by the downright lazy presentation. The constant use of the AI narrator and bizarrely long AI created images renders this documentary borderline unwatchable. I feel for the experts that agreed to be a part of it, only to have most the runtime competing with AI drivel.
