      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The timely, well-made documentary "Misconception" takes a three-pronged look at contemporary population growth and the real-world results of several complex issues surrounding the topic. Jun 23, 2016 Full Review Kenji Fujishima Slant Magazine The even-handedness of Jessica Yu's gaze throughout the first part of the film, alas, isn't sustained in the second and third chapters. Rated: 2/4 Apr 24, 2014 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice An illuminating documentary that presents three different perspectives on the challenges of overpopulation. Rated: 4/5 Jun 28, 2016 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics This not just an ineffective doc but a disappointment all around, with the most uniforming aspect being that it's got faults in every element of its making. Rated: 1/5 Jun 25, 2016 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International This doc offers a wealth of important information, but sometimes couches it in a too loaded and sometimes inappropriate style.
