Reviews
IslandGuru Who payed the critics
Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Bryce Rumbles ... but it's entertaining. Roy Blount's sense of humor is sardonic and generally very dry -- unlike his subject, ba-DUM-bum! Some of the photography is absolutely gorgeous... until the Mighty Mississippi starts getting industrialized and heavily polluted, long about St. Louis. For those of us who live near-enough-to-be-interested, yet far-enough-not-to-see-it-regularly, it's a must-see documentary. Recommended!
