Daniel M. Gold New York Times A documentary should give audiences insights they can't get elsewhere. Otherwise, it's just one more tumble in an endless media churn. Rated: 2/5 May 16, 2013 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe There's a story of money fighting money here that only gets half-told. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 14, 2012 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Just when you're either confused or made cynical by everyone's hypocrisy. . .optimism lifts the critical view to an unusually thoughtful perspective on environmental issues. Rated: 7/10 May 19, 2013 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix A dizzying look into the deceptive world of political activism, worth it for a glimpse at the making of a Daily Show segment alone. Rated: 3/4 Jun 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Entertaining documentary, which has plenty of parallels with the Viking Energy saga in Shetland. Whether pro or anti wind farms you will find this an entertaining documentary. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member In an era of agenda-driven "documentaries," it is refreshing to see a successful exhibition of both sides of a highly-charged political issue, particularly because it remains entertaining and fast-paced from the first shot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
