Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: An amiably sincere and politely thought-provoking docu in which the peripatetic writer-director plays genial talk-show host to various Nobel Prize winners.
Rotten: No offense to Pipkin and his real concerns, but a tougher questioner might have shed more light and heat.
Rotten: It's about 40 IQ points dumber than the typical public television broadcast.
Customer Reviews
Life Changer
If you are comfortable with the status quo, this movie isn't for you. The greatest minds on the planet can come up with only one answer to the question "How are we going to make it?". The answer is love.
Nobelity
Every student from the sixth grade on up to college needs to see this movie to understand where we are in the world today, what the most pressing problems really are (from a global standpoint, not just from an American point of view), and what the solutions can be. This movie makes it very, very clear that our future isn't already pre-determined, but that we have choices to make and collectively we have the power and responsibility to make the right choices, for ourselves and for our future generations. Please get this film and show it to your children, your students, in your schools or churches, and help kids understand.
Important and well made
The messages here are astounding and real. It's really a great guidepost in a world that needs one, especially when all these problems seem either too large or far removed. I agree with another post, but I think EVERYONE should have to watch it. My only complaint, I wanted to hear more from some of the Nobels! And it's well made too.
