What are critics saying?

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Boote's ambitious goals include finding out how plastics are made and how they're messing with our bodies and our planet.

Village Voice by Ernest Hardy

When Boote gets out of the way, the film is illuminating and infuriating.

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck

Fast-paced and episodic, the film at times provides such a torrent of information that it becomes more wearisome than enlightening.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

Does little but raise an alarm, then leave it jangling.

Boxoffice Magazine by Mark Keizer

Boote's strong film will make you look at the floating plastic bag from American Beauty in a new, wholly suspicious way.

Time Out by S. James Snyder

Every bit as unshakable as "An Inconvenient Truth," Werner Boote's documentary isolates the mysteries (and possible dangers) of that ubiquitous titular substance.
