It’s too late to be a pessimist. The price is too high. Humanity has little time to reverse the trend and change its patterns of consumption.

    While Close's testimony is sufficiently terrifying, moving toward an apocalyptic vision of climate-change catastrophe, the urgency of her tone is belied by the placidity of the film's visuals.
