Critic Reviews

  • Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

    Husband-and-wife filmmakers Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy pack their film with information that will not please anyone frustrated by the ubiquity of space-hogging, gas guzzling SUVs.

  • Anita Gates, New York Times

  • James Crawford, Village Voice

    Gives muckraking journalism a bad name.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    offers nothing that any mildly news-savvy viewer doesn't already know

  • Andy Klein, Los Angeles CityBeat

    A good refresher course for those whose antidepressant prescriptions aren't about to expire.
