Critic Reviews for A Fierce Green Fire

All Critics (20) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (6)

The results are beautiful, fascinating, and, understandably, messy. Not all of these people want the same thing, and sometimes their needs conflict with one another.

Bilge Ebiri
Spirituality & Health
Comprehensively tackles a sprawling subject and keeps things loose and lively.

April 18, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Loren King
Boston Globe
It's a decent overview of the subject, but the film's presentation is unexceptional, and it never hints that there is reasoned opposition to the views it advocates.

Walter V. Addiego
San Francisco Chronicle
A worthy reminder of how much has been done to help heal our planet's ecological woes as well as how much remains to be achieved.

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
About as sleepy as a documentary can be.

February 28, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Neil Genzlinger
New York Times
There's no consistent narrative thread to carry the film from start to finish, and A Fierce Green Fire fails to open any singular intellectual or psychological point of investigation.

Zachary Wigon
Village Voice
Not another documentary expos of a particular disaster or eco-crime but a history of the environmental movement itself, motivated by the idea that 'our industrial civilization has grown so powerful that it threatens the natural world...'

John Beifuss
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Manages to make the larger cause relatable by focusing on the individual stories of conservationist leaders and radical activists

Jamie S. Rich
Oregonian
I agree totally with its politics while abhorring its unimaginative political correctness.

Gerald Peary
Arts Fuse
If the point of A Fierce Green Fire is to dissipate conflict and join all viewers together under one big cause, then it finally succeeds.

Jeffrey M. Anderson
Combustible Celluloid
There's certainly plenty of material there, but the movie mostly tells us about them rather than showing us.

April 11, 2013 | Rating: 2/4

Chris Hewitt
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Essential viewing for those with a social conscience... showcases a rare and cogent macro-portrait skill unmatched in the arena of this topic since An Inconvenient Truth.
