The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
As a work of cinema, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch can seem a bit torn in its approach, caught between a desire to spread a message to mainstream viewers and more cryptic, artistic aims. At times, more information would be preferable; in other scenes, images speak volumes without words. But as advocacy, the movie is potent and frequently terrifying.
This film takes an interesting approach to bringing awareness to environmental and ecological issues. Information is limited, and film generally just allows the images and scenery to speak for themselves most of the time, and for many scene this works well enough, with many of the visual in this film being genuinely impressive and awe-inspiring.
