Bilge Ebiri Spirituality & Health The Symphony of the Soil may lose us a little along the way, but it's crystal clear about the importance of this precious natural resource. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times It's far from one of those propaganda films that hammer their messages home, though. It does have a point of view, but the intended conclusion ripens for the picking in a roundabout way. Nov 8, 2013 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter A variety of well-photographed vistas enhance surprisingly enlightening science doc. Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Mat Bradley-Tschirgi Battleship Pretension Symphony of the Soil is a stellar example of a good idea with a bad execution. Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International A dry lecture on soil science becomes slightly more palatable on shifting to lecturing about chemical-free farming. For truly dedicated organic agronomists only. Oct 10, 2013 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Sets the standard for films about the ills of chemical farming and the need for organic alternatives. Not only is it educational in the deepest sense of the word but artistically captivating. Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
