There's a splendid audacity in Baichwal trying to bring to the screen something as idea-driven as Atwood's book.

Rated: 2.5/4 •

Baichwal could have devoted a single film to just BP's disgraceful behavior.

Rated: 2/4 •

Ultimately, this intriguing but scattershot movie turns on the incompatibility of two worldviews - the corporate-financial vs. the environmental-spiritual.

Maven's Nest

Brings to life serious discussions of philosophical issues through impassioned case studies [but] works too hard for an upbeat ending.

Rated: 6/10 •

An earnest and edifying documentary on the philosophical and ethical ramifications of debt as something owed.

Makes similar points as several other docs, but in a more labored and tedious way.

Baichwal continues to disappoint me. In this case, her net is cast too broadly regarding the issue of debts. You get the sense that any of the topics would worth a documentary unto themselves. Instead we get a mishmash of stories with a tenuous connection and featuring the ever 'delightful' Conrad Black.
