Eating Animals's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
The mission of Eating Animals isn?t to get you to swear off meat (though I?m sure the filmmaker and the narrator would applaud that). It?s to raise your consciousness about the good, the bad and the ugly of animal agriculture.
Indiewire
Quinn has clearly done the work to establish meaningful relationships with many of his subjects, and you can see the pain and concern in their eyes. Still, Eating Animals feels every bit as scattershot as it sounds, the film?s moral argument cornering you from all sides rather than attacking head-on.
Roger Ebert
Habits are hard to change; sadly, the people who are most likely to seek out a movie like Eating Animals are already on board with its message.
New York Times
This upsetting documentary offers plenty to chew on.
The Hollywood Reporter
The film fails to provide many practical solutions to the problems it identifies. Still, it?s an effective piece of agitprop suffused with sadness over the decline of a rich part of the American heritage.
Los Angeles Times
The message is clear, and memorably rendered: Care about where your meat comes from, because then you might eat less of it, feel better when you do eat it, and cause a little less suffering in the world.
