gail w My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this beautifully made movie. inspiring, motivating, wonderful scenes of nature and reminder to stay positive and grateful every day Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Laura S Gratitude Revealed is visually rich, emotionally immersive, and totally unforgettable -- a tapestry of stories from the exquisiteness of the natural world to a myriad of voices from unique walks of life -- all captivating, meaningful, and poignant. It is one heartfelt moment after another. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Ranny L A thought-provoking piece, Gratitude Revealed shows promise in its concept and features gorgeous footage, but falters to keep viewers engaged in the film past the midway mark. Composed of stunning nature footage and high-profile interviews, Gratitude Revealed shows us how to live a more meaningful life full of thankfulness through filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg's conversations with everyday people and eminent personalities. Featured are chats with figures like Norman Lear, Deepak Chopra, Jack Kornfield and more. The film makes the point that we need a pathway back from the disconnection we feel in our lives, within ourselves, and with others. The thought behind this film is remarkable. However, the substance of the film is revealed painfully slowly, and some of the insights are rather obvious. It is unfortunate that the film lacks momentum and vibrancy beyond cinematography, as this makes it a difficult watch for young viewers accustomed to a faster pace of cinema. If it was the intent of the filmmaker to slow down viewers caught in the rat race of life, he certainly achieved it… almost too well. The camera work and editing in Gratitude Revealed are the highest points of the film, along with the cachet of the big names Schwartzberg speaks with. I especially love the way the interviews are framed. I feel that some of the interviews are way too long and tedious. It sometimes feels as if the nature shots are being used to compensate for the repetition of certain points. This leads to Gratitude Revealed feeling less like a documentary and more like an experimental film. Gratitude Revealed promotes finding joy in the small things in life and just "being." It's a beautiful message that is perfect for the Thanksgiving season. I give Gratitude Revealed 3.5 stars out of 5 and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Gratitude Revealed releases on VOD November 1, 2022. By Eshaan M., KIDS FIRST! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/22 Full Review bobbi r I don't understand the low score on rotten tomatoes. I saw this film yesterday and loved it. The message was wonderful - delivered by a variety of people - and the cinematography was beautiful - a blend of close ups of the natural world and people dancing, playing, working and being real. The interviews brought in multiple perspectives from a variety of cultures. 5 out of 5 stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review glenda s Louie Schwartzberg has created yet another fantastic documentary. As I expected, his cinematography is gloriously wonderful. That coupled to the diverse spectrum of insightful interviews made me grateful for every minute of this film. I was amazed by the cast and how much each person interviewed contributed to the understanding of the combination of individuation and universality that gratitude has. I was fortunate enough to attend a screening that include a discussion of the movie by Louie Schwartzberg, Dr. Christine Carter, and Lynne Twist. The theater was full and universal applause erupted a number of times as the panel recalled specific events from within the film. At the end the standing ovation for Louie lasted for for a long time. I can't say it enough... go see this film you will be grateful you did. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
