It's Michael Moore without the truculence, PBS without the pretension, CNN without the commercial grandstanding.

Reviews for The Beautiful Truth
Comes off mostly like a hybrid of retro-style educational film and late-night infomercial.
The Beautiful Truth is a documentary about contemporary health hazards and alternative treatments.
There may be truth in what Kroschel says, but you won't find it in this pedantic film, which has all the veracity of a late-night TV infomercial.
While docu's claims and criticism yield nothing especially new, the form of their exposition seems singularly ingenious, stylistically falling somewhere between a 1950s educational film and some sort of Norman Rockwellian infomercial.
Kroschel positions The Beautiful Truth as a sort of instructional video for young people on the merits of eating healthy, but its creepy messianic vibe is far more toxic than all the pollutants in all the processed food you could ever consume.
