Sadly, the benefits these families gained from being filmed for Fed Up - if there were any - seem lost as the film feels more exploitive more than revolutionary.

Valuable for both its message and its fervently researched filmmaking, Fed Up needs to be seen.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2020

Fed Up is a documented food fight not to be missed. Soechtig's contemplative documentary will agree with your guilty pleasure-seeking taste buds.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 1, 2019

The impact of this negligence surrounding the health and nutritional well-being of Americans is very well documented in the film Fed Up, which is sure to leave you second guessing your dietary habits.

[Fed Up] will appeal to the same audience that enjoys the self-righteous indignation that accompanies any Michael Moore film.

| Aug 15, 2017

A well-researched film that presents medical science and statistical trends in an easily digestible fashion.

Fed Up is a documentary about choice and accountability, but it's awfully picky about whose choice and whose accountability are to be evaluated. The result is a documentary about sugar that should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

Wow ... talk about sobering food for thought ...

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 14, 2015

Fixating on the fat rolls of underprivileged kids without mentioning class, the film is a more polished version of the greasy tale Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me told from the inside out.

| Oct 3, 2014

The film is more adept at placing blame than offering solutions, but it should serve as a call to action for those viewers who walk into the theater with a jumbo popcorn and soda.

Fed Up makes a convincing case for how profiteering factory food corporations conspire to hook people on addictive ingredients they pack into their products. Along with weirdly coopting Michelle Obama to deceptively promote exercise as the obesity cure.

Fed Up, for the most part, boasts the feel of a short news piece that's somehow been expanded to feature length...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 7, 2014

...an entertaining message movie that ironically mirrors the easy-to-consume junk that is its subject.

| Original Score: 84/100 | Jun 6, 2014

It's a decent summary of the issue, taking square aim at corporations and politicians who have made it easy for the citizenry to stuff its collective face with junk food and, even more damaging, sugar.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 29, 2014

Everything we've been taught is wrong.

| May 23, 2014

I'm not as angry reflecting on the nonfiction jumble "Fed Up" as I was during its slovenly length, but from modest distance, it still feels like a ruinously wasted opportunity, an inconvenient botch.

| May 22, 2014

Director Stephanie Soechtig gathers activists, doctors, kids, lobbyists, parents, politicians, reporters and teachers -- all with different stakes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 22, 2014

Exposé against America's nutritional war on itself is informative, passionate, slightly regurgitated.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 22, 2014

Stephanie Soechtig's potentially life-changing documentary Fed Up has the look and feel of an extended 60 Minutes investigative news segment. Except that it's much, much more.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 22, 2014

Thumbnail portraits of morbidly obese kids introduce a plaintive note to the argument, especially since, as the documentary notes, many school cafeterias are now indistinguishable from fast-food joints.
