Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Stewart Udall, Dennis Hayes, Stewart Brand, Rusty Schweickart, Hunter Lovins, Dennis Meadows, Stephanie Mills, and Pete McCloskey
A visually stunning, vastly entertaining and awe-inspiring look-back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement—from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action. (Zeitgeist Films)

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
A rapturous and enlightening look at the history of the environmental movement in America.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
Devotees of the "Whole Earth Catalogue" may regard this film as a nostalgia trip, but it's much more comprehensive, more forward-looking than that.
Read Full Review >Variety Justin Chang
A moving, elegiac, deeply contemplative work that leaves the viewer not with a save-the-world checklist, but rather a spirit of hopeful reflection.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
An informative and nonpolemic look at the birth of the modern environmental movement and its various offshoots and key players.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
The rare ecological documentary that doesn’t nag us to run out of the movie theater and change the world.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
Nearly a quarter of the way through Earth Days, the movie seems on-track to being just another tongue-clucking “Isn’t it a pity” doc, painted in broad strokes.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
Feels like a prolonged campfire conversation, filled with weathered, measured talk about holistic thinking and finding a new perspective.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
There is a sense of sadness around Earth Days, a sense that opportunities were not capitalized on, that not enough was done.
Read Full Review >St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams
There's little that's new in the retelling, except mellowed musings on Environmentalism 2.0.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Stephen Farber
Documentaries are a hard sell these days, and despite the timely, pertinent subject, the film simply doesn't have enough entertainment value to draw an audience to the multiplex.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Even with all the inconvenient truths exposed, Stone's film is still, sadly, inescapably crucial.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
A sedate chronicle of the highs and lows of the environmental movement, Earth Days is less a rousing call to action than a bittersweet stroll down memory lane.
