3/5
Wasted! is sure to be mind-expanding for anyone who's never contemplated what happens when excess food is scraped off one's plate. But the film's real novelty lies in the demonstration of actual solutions that have already been put into practice. Go to Full Review

Kyle M 09/14/2024 Once you open your mind to this eye-opening insight, you’ll shortly realize how much of an initiative has been built in brief phases on different platforms as a mindset buildup that feeds into multiple suggestions in lowering food waste. This is another inspiring documentary with insightfully vocal perfection, despite occasionally coming off short in compellingly unfinished ideas that pushes us to act with more knowledge against collectively saddening ignorance. (A-) See more 05/28/2018 You'll be singing "I Love Trash" after this required viewing. See more 10/15/2017 Educational film about amount of food waste that we make! Check it out and maybe we can make a difference! See more dave d 10/12/2017 THE GREAT THING ABOUT A DOCUMENTARY YOU KNOW LITTLE ABOUT IS IT CAN BE EYE OPENING, HOWEVER THE COUNTER TO THAT IS IT CAN ALSO MAKE YOU SAD. AMERICA IS TOTALLY F'ED. DO PEOPLE CARE? IS THIS AN ISSUE HIGH ENOUGH ON THE SPECTRUM OF IMMINENT THREATS TO OUR PLANET THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE? I KNOW ONE THING: IT WILL TAKE A GRASS ROOTS EFFORT BECAUSE OUR POLITICIANS ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. OVERALL IT'S A WORTHWHILE EYE-OPENING FACT BASED FILM THAT ILLUMINATES AND FOR THAT REASON I'M GLAD I WATCH. THE STORY OF HOW MUCH WE WASTE IS ONE THAT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND EVEN IF IT ALTERS IT A LITTLE, THE OLD CLICHE STILL STANDS: EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! FINAL SCORE: 7.8/10 See more Darcy H 10/09/2017 Love Bourdain always. A lot of fun and important. See more Read all reviews
