SummaryA visually stunning, vastly entertaining and awe-inspiring look-back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement—from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action.

A rapturous and enlightening look at the history of the environmental movement in America.
80
A moving, elegiac, deeply contemplative work that leaves the viewer not with a save-the-world checklist, but rather a spirit of hopeful reflection.
75
The rare ecological documentary that doesn’t nag us to run out of the movie theater and change the world.
70
Feels like a prolonged campfire conversation, filled with weathered, measured talk about holistic thinking and finding a new perspective.
70
There's great archival footage.
60
Even with all the inconvenient truths exposed, Stone's film is still, sadly, inescapably crucial.
50
A sedate chronicle of the highs and lows of the environmental movement, Earth Days is less a rousing call to action than a bittersweet stroll down memory lane.
