[A] hard-hitting documentary.

| Mar 11, 2020

There's a very strong argument in it, that vegetarianism is the future.

A difficult watch, but an essential one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 9, 2019

It's arresting material, delivered with passion. But, as a documentary, it's sometimes scattershot and random, and ultimately preaching, one suspects, to the choir.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2019

All in all, Eating Animals makes for a sobering watch, and by the time you've sat through a quarter of it, you'll either be thanking your lucky stars for being a vegetarian or you'll become one on the spot.

Well meaning politically, but positively sucks as a movie.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 7, 2019

It's a film that tells you what you already knew - and then made a conscious or unconscious decision to forget, if you are a meat-eater.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 6, 2019

Hold on, fellow meat eaters! Director Christopher Quinn's film isn't the blood-spattered, viral footage-laced, sermonizing moral lecture you might think it will be.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 16, 2018

If "Eating Animals" gets you to think twice about that prepackaged beef or frozen chicken, it will have done its job.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 28, 2018

"Eating Animals" brings heart to farmers who raise livestock on traditional values by showing how emotional they would get when sending their animals to the slaughterhouse.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 28, 2018

But even for me, an animal lover, a believer in the power of storytelling, and an advocate for meatless meals as often as possible, I just kept waiting for a revelation, or a reason (beyond the horror show footage) to care.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2018

The message is clear, and memorably rendered: Care about where your meat comes from, because then you might eat less of it, feel better when you do eat it, and cause a little less suffering in the world.

Though not as graphically powerful as other documentaries on similar subjects... the emphasis on the disastrous global impact of these practices is more disturbing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 21, 2018

An annoyingly blinkered piece of agitprop-but an effective one, too.

| Jun 20, 2018

"Eating Animals," at its core, poses two hard questions, the latter of which might seem intractable: "How did we get here?" and "How do we go somewhere else?"

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 19, 2018

As eye-opening as it is stomach-turning, whether you're familiar with this topic or not.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 15, 2018

A movie like "Eating Animals," by making you think twice about what you're taking a bite of, has stood its ground and done its job.

| Jun 15, 2018

The movie isn't even advocating vegetarianism. But it seems impossible to come away from it without wanting to know more about where your meat comes from.

| Jun 14, 2018

Eating Animals" makes it very clear that meat-eaters are driving a modern holocaust against their dinner.

| Original Score: B | Jun 13, 2018

As a work of sustained, thoughtful inquiry, Eating Animals is a bust; as a reminder of what we should all be thinking about, though, it's searing.
