A calm documentary that doesn't resort to shrill polemics, The Unforeseen also benefits from great interview subjects and jaw-dropping cinematography.

Even if the director eventually hard-pedals her pantheist imagery into cliché, this inconvenient truth is discreet, intimate and regularly surprising. May 2, 2008 | Full Review…

No one who sees this intriguing documentary will want to argue with reporter Greider when he forcefully insists, "We need a more mature regard for the future." We do indeed. Mar 14, 2008 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

[Cinematographer] Daniel has never shot a film for Malick, though you'd hardly guess so, given The Unforeseen's poetic and dreamy shots of nature that, like the images that open the Malick's "The Thin Red Line," hint at an Earthly paradise. Mar 14, 2008 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

While [director Laura] Dunn's style is closer to Terrence Malick than Paul Thomas Anderson, Bradley becomes a figure as tragic and memorable as the fictional Daniel Plainview in "There Will Be Blood." Mar 5, 2018 | Full Review…

This enviro documentary has its pretensions (I could've done without Wendell Berry intoning poetry), but the 30-year drama it describes couldn't be more timely. Aug 22, 2017 | Full Review…

If The Unforeseen has a fault, it would be a slight lack of focus. A flawed, but beautiful documentary. Jul 30, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/5

Powerful study of a landmark struggle between environmentalists and real estate developer in Austin, Texas in the early 90s. A parable for our exhausted, consumerist society that is choking itself to death. Jan 23, 2009 | Full Review…

The result is an expansive and ambivalent testament to human ingenuity, human intransigence, and nature's endangered yet enduring power to move. Oct 18, 2008 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
