Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Sniffing and licking as he goes, and pausing to rub his face vigorously with bioplastics, the director favors a peripatetic style that staves off boredom but is frustratingly shallow.

fresh:
Disturbing, cautionary documentary that will make you rethink the products with which you surround yourself.

A must-see for anyone even remotely interested in the staggering health costs of plastic to humans and the planet itself.
