Best movie ever!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

People credit this movie as the reason they turned vegan. Not a lot of evidence and hardfacts here. Just someone pushing their propaganda without backing it up with science.They don't really show any credible evidence to support their claims and chuck out numbers that are pretty meaningless without the correct context and explanation. Just because it's on Netglux doesn't mean it's any good

This documentary is literally like watching an 8 year old child whose done a presentation on 'livestock', barely knows what he's talking about, but is very passionate and throwing obscure 'statistics' in your face, just very desperate to get a gold star. As other reviews have also highlighted, his statistics mostly come from very sketchy sources (for which would not be acceptable in any high- level academic paper),and any interviewees who discuss his argument for the other side simply have their point cut in half. This is not a conspiracy, it's just an irrelevant issue not worth the time and resources of the high-profile environmental groups.

Lots of other reviews have stated how this documentary works as propaganda by misrepresenting facts and selecting dubious sources, so I won't repeat. I just want to express my disgust.I am stunned that someone so bent on spreading "the truth" can simultaneously reach his hand into the evidence bag and manipulate and misrepresent the real truth to fit his view of the world. Or to fit a sexy storyline for his career-making documentary... Kip, you are no better than Goebbels. In your self-righteous pursuit of film success you sell out the only thing that really matters in your profession: the truth.I really hope you change your path in life. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and big egos. Please put yours aside, for the sake of a world innocently consuming the trash you put forth.

There is no doubt that an animal based diet has a greater ecological footprint than does a vegetarian diet. Of course you don't have to choose one or the other. It's a continuum, and eating fewer animal products is an improvement. My problem with this documentary is that he portrays a vegetarian diet as the fix for our environmental woes. A vegetarian United States will still be *far* from sustainable. Our consumer-oriented lifestyle is unsustainable in many ways, and food production is just one of them. That doesn't mean we should just do nothing. Less meat in our diet would be helpful, but it's foolish to simply ignore the underlying cause of most of our problems: Overpopulation. It's not a popular topic for discussion or policy. It's really not that interesting. The message never changes, and there's no emotional upside for having fewer children (or none). It's a somewhat cold reality, and not one that stirs passion, but ultimately the only lifestyle choice one can make that reduces our impact on our planet's ecosystem to the point of sustainability is to reduce our vast numbers. Follow Cowspiracy's message and alter your diet, too, but don't ignore the cause of our predicament and the real solution for it.
