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.

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.

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.

It's a powerful film.
| 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

There's an acerbically straightforward, old-fashioned muckrake gurgling with righteous pugnacity beneath the mannered surface of Josh Fox's Gasland.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 26, 2010
With its jolting images of flammable tap water and chemically burned pets, New York theater-director-turned-documentarian Josh Fox's Sundance-feted shocker makes an irrefutable case against U.S. corporate "fracking."

It's not pretty, but it works for some. Gasland won a special jury prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
