Both educative and entertaining... That Sugar Film should be applauded for boldly and effectively confronting the worrying rise in obesity in sugar-rich countries.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 5, 2019

The documentary will certainly appeal to kids with its colour, movement, clarity and humour. Adults, meanwhile, will take pause at the knowledge that the food industry has exploited our hard-wired love for sweet things to sell us unhealthy products.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2017

It will change the way you read food labels and detain your trolley in the produce aisle where it's safest.

Gameau ... inserts a bit of journalism into the mix with two road trips that elevate "That Sugar Film" beyond a semi-vanity production.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 31, 2015

While "That Sugar Film" is filled with powerful and what should be downright alarming information, it also suffers from distracting bouts of cinematic candy coating.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 31, 2015

Damon Gameau copies the Super Size Me model for an investigatory experiment [with] more style and pizzazz and inconsistency.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2015

That Sugar Film's message is one well worth hearing, there are better, more informed messengers out there.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 30, 2015

The food-doc shelf is crowded with good-for-you movies, including "Fed Up," "Fast Food Nation," "Food Inc." and, yes, "Super Size Me." "That Sugar Film" is a worthy addition, entertaining while informing.

Gameau, like a certain beloved British nanny, recognizes the value in a spoonful of you-know-what helping the medicine go down.

Peppy and eager to please, this relentless Australian documentary takes a strange approach to early death and unnatural appetites.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Fun to watch, if a little too cutesy for my tastes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Although Gameau's film includes a fair amount of science, he and his helpers sweeten the film's statistics, delivering them in clever, accessible ways.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Gameau builds his case well, and by the end of the painfully dorky musical number, you may be swapping your smoothies for berries and plain, full-fat yogurt.

One senses that all of these kinds of documentaires are finally aggrandizing shrines made by artists trying to erect something out of nothing.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 26, 2015

In its substance, the film is an effective call for individuals to reduce sugar intake while exposing the places those sugars may reside.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2015

With its peppy, pop style, complete with silly, colorful special effects and animation, this documentary should prove accessible to school-age viewers, who might profit the most from its frank information about sugar's effect on their minds and bodies.

[Gameau] does have an undeniable way of grabbing your attention, and it's a lack of that that seems to be half the problem when it comes to our sugar-packed diet.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 9, 2015

It's important to probe the Western world's overconsumption of sugar, but Gameau's attempts to do so while being hip and fun feel condescending and trite.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2015

There's really nothing fresh in terms of news or science about sugar's potential for addiction, obesity and disease.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 9, 2015
