Reviews for Microcosmos
Top CriticBoth informative and entertaining, French docu doesn't presume any previous knowledge of or interest in the subject, finding the right tone (serio and also slyly humorous) to introduce in detail a previously unrecorded but fascinating universe.

...here's a film with drama, violence, sex and laughs; in other words, everything Hollywood has, but without the star salaries.

Astonishingly up-close and personal look at an infinitesimal world as alien as anything captured by the Mars rovers… a world of strange fascination and unexpected beauty.

The material presented here is so compelling and so true to the natural processes it records that it's beside the point to wonder if the filmmakers sped them up.
