Recommended, especially for those who still think the Gulf spill is just a local problem.

A must-see documentary

Gasland will no doubt spark the political debate it intends.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 20, 2011

Josh Fox puts a fresh spin on a well-drilled - if continually relevant - story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2011

Cheney, the great outdoorsman, nearly killed a friend while hunting. That was nothing, however, compared with what he's been doing to thousands of his fellow countrymen.

| Jan 18, 2011

An absorbing, level-headed documentary exposing the way in which nothing is allowed to stand in the path of corporate greed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2011

With a remorselessness all the more powerful for its quiet unfussiness, Fox builds up a riveting portrait of near-apocalyptic environmental damage and a corporate mindset willing to ruin water sources irrevocably for the sake of a few years' profit.

By turns shocking and deeply upsetting, Gasland is a powerful, well made eco-documentary that carries a vitally important message.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 15, 2011

With the hunt for natural gas likely to be heading to Britain, it's a topical film, although the point could have been made in less time.

It's a powerful film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2011

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2011

Gasland may be the first ever American film in which Nixon is the hero. It is the 101st in which Dick Cheney is the villain.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2011

While the hushed tones of Fox's would-be naïf commentary slightly grate after a while, his film's images, contrasting natural beauty with industrial horror show, are bracingly effective indeed.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2011

Frankly it's overwhelming. But Fox finds a lucid narrative here with sharp editing, thorough research and a merciful sense of humour.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011

The lesson is a familiar one but Fox conveys it vividly, contrasting natural beauty with the despoliation wrought by industrial plunder.

Virtually guarenteed to make your blood boil, debut documentariab Fox's remarkably likeable investigation pours forth a persuasive call-to-arms.

GasLand [backs] up its agenda with a calm and comprehensive case of evidence that impassions, not bullies, the audience into action.

An explosive and timely film.
