Bilge Ebiri Spirituality & Health A provocative, important argument, but this is ultimately a confused film, trying to fuse several different stories-some of which would have made interesting stand-alone documentaries-into one worthy, but uneasy whole. Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly Despite Everything's desire to distance itself from other climate change ventures, these early stories are perhaps the most conventionally structured for a documentary, and also the most engaging. Rated: B- Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Klein and those impassioned protesters provide something that has been in short supply in the predecessors - namely, a modicum of hope for the future. Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Matthew Anderson CineVue Where An Inconvenient Truth was a resounding uppercut, This Changes Everything fails to land a single punch. Rated: 2/5 Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Tom Charity Cinema Scope Beware an ideologue in confessional mode. Whatever Klein's misgivings, they haven't prevented her partner Avi Lewis from recycling the genre's most hackneyed tropes. Oct 11, 2017 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) At best, it is a pretty conventional documentary about climate change that offers up a few solutions (cooperative action, renewable energy).

Audience Member Selective, biased and ideological. Too much emotional blackmail and not enough critical analysis from both sides of the aisle. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Words wont do it, action will !!! Please watch and share, and cry your heart out! We keep forgetting the level of corruption in the world, and it saddens me everyday. Watch this and remind yourself that the world needs every hand to help change this confusion! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Personally I didn't want to hear the narrators opinion on climate change at the beginning or end. The narrator makes you despise them with the comment on how they don't care for the polar bears or the animals. They basically say "As for the polar bears, well good luck with your home being destroyed lol". Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review spencer p It's set against an intriguing new light on global warming, but the end result seems to be an appraisal of the practice of societal protest which, no matter what side of the political spectrum it lies on, always looks more destructive and irritating than helpful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well put together, thought flawed and widely inaccurate at its core. The story is well versed in its deceitful agenda. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member capitalism vs climate change: what mainstream media conceals. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
