      Liz W An eye opening film that exposes an unchecked industry. Heartbreaking but an important story to be told. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Shawn B Thank you all for the positive feedback! It's been an incredibly long road. We're at almost 6 years since we started this adventure. We've had over 50 festival screenings and 100 impact/community screenings and we are just thrilled to finally be rated on Rotten Tomatoes!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now go watch the movie already and until the very, very end. You can do it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Taylor F Such a powerful film, unlike any other I've seen in a long time. The story of a community fighting for clean air and clean water, it'll make you rethink what's on your plate. I'm so inspired by Elsie's story, it brought tears to my eyes many times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Eric C Engaging and compelling, sheds light on horrific environmental pollution practices targeting low income and bipoc communities. Must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Ashita B Please watch this and please please stop hurting animals 🙏 this is going to change the way you think. Thank you for bringing the truth out in the light. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Claudia L This is, hands down, the best and most important film I have ever seen. It is engaging, compelling, heart wrenching (in the best way), moving, motivating, and powerful. I can't think of a more important film for all Americans to see.

      James Wegg JWR No one is protecting us Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Employing a straightforward documentary approach, the case mounted leads to one conclusion... I for one will never be able to look at Smithfield bacon, Nathan’s hot dogs, or any of their brands without this reality uppermost in my mind. Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The Smell of Money is a richly human and emotionally honest film that finds its power in its truth and in the straightforward testimony of the residents who've fought back. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl The Smell of Money lays bare a specific example of the tangled mess of economic and racial privilege which explains so much about why things happen the way they do in the United States. Rated: 7/10 Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation In America these days, the injustice goes on even when the facts seem obvious, even when the fight seems won. Rated: 3/4 Dec 8, 2023 Full Review Jordan Bond Film Threat This type of documentary is meant to bring awareness to a problem and serve as a call to action for its viewers. The Smell of Money does so effectively with disgusting footage of the hog farm practice and compelling testimony from residents. Rated: 8/10 Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
