Bilge Ebiri Spirituality & Health 03/24/2020
It's an effective movie for those of us in the choir. But the film's stylistic limitations might keep it from breaking out more widely. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Gradually marshals its arguments and evidence in such a way that it ends being compelling and illuminating for viewers who are more interested in useful information than artful presentation. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 04/16/2015
Co-directors Dana Nachman and Don Hardy haven't attributed all of their facts and figures, hence the proverbial grain of salt. Go to Full Review
Daniel Eagan Film Journal International 04/17/2015
Slickly packaged but far too easygoing, [The Human Experiment] won't make much headway with nonbelievers. Go to Full Review
Kam Williams Baret News 04/17/2015
4/4
A cautionary expose' making a convincing argument that consumers would be very wise to learn all they can about the ingredients in the products they buy. Go to Full Review

08/21/2016 Worst God-of-the-gaps types argument I've ever sat through outside of a church. See more 08/03/2016 I thought it was able to pack information into a short time frame, even if I'm overly paranoid now. See more 01/30/2016 A lot of information I already knew, but some good stuff about changes trying to be implemented in the chemical industry. One question I had, if rates of these diseases possibly caused by chemicals are going up, why is the world life expectancy also increasing? Wouldn't more people die earlier if these chemicals are so dangerous to our health? I did like the girl lobbyist with the autistic brother, she was very smart and very well spoken. Had some excellent arguments. Watched on Netflix at home, January 30, 2016. See more 09/09/2015 Terrifying and enlightening See more 08/30/2015 It says good things, but it is a little cliche and a little heavy-handed at times. See more 08/11/2015 This is a topic that is extremely important, for the right to "know" what toxins, chemicals, etc., are in products and also in foods and drinks for consumers. It is essentially knowingly and willingly "poisoning" people and animals. It actually construes as fraudulent, to me and millions of other's!!! We the people have the RIGHT to know exactly what we are buying, and provided the choice to choose what we breath in, what enters into our bloodstreams, and what we consume. No one, not even the U.S. Government or legislation (whoever blames who!) "they" etc., can NOT take that "right" away, nor should they get away with it ... anymore! ~Valerie See more Read all reviews
