Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Fresh
It is utterly convincing, it's emotionally powerful and it makes Gore look more charming than he ever did as a presidential candidate.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh
The film succeeds powerfully, even though it's short on practical solutions, makes some questionable statements of fact and, given Gore's current ambiguous position in public life, requires a tighter focus on the message than on the messenger.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Fresh
Frightening and timely, the smartly organized documentary is an urgent plea for responsibility and action as well as an impassioned call to heed the ominous warnings of science.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
