Neil Genzlinger New York Times The film not only explores the fruitlessness of trying to stabilize shorelines that nature prefers to keep in flux, but it also looks at issues like who benefits from, and who pays for, these expensive efforts. Nov 28, 2013 Full Review Daphne Howland Village Voice Our seemingly innate desire to hang on to disappearing sand, which is essentially what our barrier islands are, is beautifully illustrated by the film's cinematography and historical footage.

Audience Member Moves a little slower than necessary but still a good movie and worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was an excellent documentary about coastal erosion and sea level rise in New Jersey and North Carolina. Very well made. It draws attention to the ridiculous amount of federal dollars being used to shore up the seaside homes of the wealthy, while middle class / working class areas that are not similarly protected are destroyed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
