Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times With its twinkly piano and soul-stirring cinematography, "Love Thy Nature" feels like the visual equivalent of a hot oil spa massage - and leaves a residual effect that proves equally as fleeting. May 5, 2016 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter For all the information presented, the film is insufficient on details, instead stressing the fairly obvious importance of such things as eating natural foods and getting fresh air. May 3, 2016 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Endless slow-motion footage of animals, plants and people rolls by. Hard realities, though, are nowhere to be found. Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly The woo about Gaia and such makes even the occasional hard science sound suspect, and questionable statements like people going to parks after 9/11 as proof of the healing power of nature don't help. May 3, 2016 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film In a style that's becoming typical of indie science documentaries, it mixes solid, well established material with poorly substantiated ideas and a tendency to whimsy, but at least it's pretty. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2016 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice An innovative and soul-stirring documentary for Earth Day. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 25, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member No one's going to save the planet with big behavior changes just because we 'should' do it. We protect what we love.....that's the underlying theme. And if we experience the beauty and wonder of our planet, we will fight to preserve that beauty - which will be to our benefit. This isn't hard hitting. It's a gentle sell, and a respite from tough documentaries about how bad things are. Scientist Brian Swimme's insights into new powers of the planet, to self-regulate if given a chance, are valuable and hopeful. I saw this film festival and was haunted by it. Your worship or environmental group mightview it for discussion. It's a great movie for multi-generational viewing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review ed l What's wrong with critics? Do they think technique is more important than the message? Until we GET the message, and live it, we need more and more of these films again and again and again. Why nit pick while the planet burns? I don't get it. There won't be many more Oscar ceremonies if the planet dies. Is that so hard to see? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Just when it seems the world has gone crazy, this film gave me hope! It's bold yet gentle, beautiful and insightful-really, a profoundly uplifting experience that lingers long after the credits. It will be really helpful for anyone feeling disconnected from nature or wondering if we impact our planet. I'm getting it for my friends, too. Five stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The imagery in this move is truly beautiful and the topic is one that is much needed in todays world. It was a great movie to watch with my family and we enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic!!!! Congrats, Sylvie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a great opportunity to think about solution for the planet. I shared with my students the movie and they all loved it. Congratulations dor all the team! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
