The Guardian

Sep 26, 2013

We call our House of Commons proceedings Punch and Judy: but the climate-change deniers on Fox News are Punch on steroids. It's a chilling and depressing picture.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Mar 2, 2013

What’s fresh here is the tone – rude, blunt and bordering on shrill. This is a less in-your-face Michael Moore-style take on this subject.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Mar 7, 2013

Collated for momentum, the film’s many interviews, wide-ranging archival footage and montage of modern ecological disasters form a blunt but carefully positioned instrument. And despite a bit of Michael Moore-style nonsense at the end the tightly edited narrative displays a reach (nine countries) and clarity of composition that hold the attention.

There’s a lot to be angry about. And though Rosebraugh shines a light on plenty of jaw-dropping corruption, it plays out like a shrill rallying cry without catharsis for the already initiated.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Mar 14, 2013

On the downside, Rosebraugh’s own film is too self-righteous and his attempts to play a humour-challenged, lightweight version of Michael Moore in front of the camera is a misfire. The climate-change deniers are comforting, though obviously wrong. Greedy Lying Bastards is grating, even if it’s right.

By Liam Lacey FULL REVIEW

Austin Chronicle

Mar 6, 2013

Rosebraugh’s arguments are sound and his heart is in the right place, but his execution is self-defeating.

FULL REVIEW

Boston Globe

Mar 7, 2013

The film’s zippy graphics are a treat, but its zippy arguments are slipshod.
