What to Know

Critics Consensus

Alternative energy is a business and not a sustainable solution, but beyond that, offers partial information that's unlikely to motivate change.

The film's broad-based approach can be uneven. Gibbs isn't nearly as compelling a figure as some of the activists he interviews and portrays... Go to Full Review Kate Aronoff The New Republic 05/07/2020
A feature-length made by an avowed environmentalist in 2020 could arm the public with information to work toward a better place along that spectrum...Gibbs doesn't have such critical democratic engagement in mind. Go to Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap 04/28/2020
[U]nlike Moore, Gibbs is an understated and somewhat flat narrator. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 04/12/2023
Ultimately, it leaves us unsettled, with a marked sense of instability and doom. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa 08/14/2021
The film plays out like a tale being told. The Italian director dares the audience to believe it is real. Go to Full Review Milana Vujkov Lola On Film 07/31/2021
3/5
In taking on the shadow aspects of the environmental movement, the filmmakers have their hearts in the right place. Not sure about the corporate environmentalists. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jim E @RT62503242 11/24/2024 Awesome to see the reality of what goes on in our corrupt world with the big money leaching everything they can from our people and planet! See more Robert B @MrZetetic 10/06/2024 Yes, you will learn that the green agenda is everything but. Power plants have to keep running while wind turbines and solar panels are generating power and the energy involved in creating the green alternatives mean that overall, more fossil fuel is burned to run the green alternatives. See more MagR T @RT33516756 09/11/2024 A must watch. This was for me, as important as Earthlings. A heart breaking truth. The Unbelievable but very real rampant corruption with "green" energy and politicians. A real eye-opener. Burning biomass = Forrest destruction, my mind was blown. Replacing 1 coal plant with 10 tree burning plants and calling it "green energy" Had no idea whatsoever, glad this was made! Too sad it came out during the pandemic and was missed by many. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 11/29/2023 As with all Michael Moore productions you can't take things verbatim. There is a lot of sketchy logic and cherry picked stats but the central tenet that green energy isn't always as green as it's advertised deserves scrutiny and the film opens the debate. The film almost tacitly places green energy as being as bad as coal though, which is odd. Watched on YouTube. See more Jon H @RT33997944 06/25/2023 Very well made, thought provoking docu-movie. There were a couple of omissions from consideration but overall, excellent and very brave documentary. See more Carlton S @seadweller 12/10/2022 The simple fact is we all want to do the right thing...or do we? When I see Bill McKibben fumble to respond about Germany's use of "green energy" it is so telling and it reveals something utterly sinister. This armpit is living in Vermont pretending to be the future energy Czar for future president Sanders, yet he won't have an honest dialogue about BioMass because he is so dark and convinced America sucks that he refuses to use his eroded Harvard "educated" mind that focuses on everything wrong America: Pretty Transparent.
