Purely Joyful Movie!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Fantastic!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is an excellent film that starts with an earnest attempt to unearth the true impetus of the animal rights movement, and with an unexpected try at the outset, to refute necessity of the movement. The film takes an interesting turn, and includes illuminating interviews with prominent individuals. Despite the serious subject matter, the film is entertaining and has a certain vigor, and humor, that keeps the viewer riveted from start to finish. It's nearly impossible to ignore the material this film presents, and it'll leave you with the perhaps irresistible urge to view things with a different lens. This is required viewing for all critical thinkers, both within and outside of the animal movement. Be prepared to challenge all you once knew!

May Contain spoilers - This documentary combines the director of this films' personal discovery with facts and reasoning based on the research he did himself. Just that alone turns this documentary into something more relatable and more real then many other documentaries.The director shows himself as just a normal college student who had changed when he began asking question. One question in particular was "why? why do people this is okay ?, why does it happen like this " the answer came with the answers of the many people that were asked their opinion of the manor , by looking at human history and what we in our modern culture have been taught to believe the answer which became the title of the documentary, speciesism . Over all it was very informative and looked at all aspects of this problem (environmental, social ) as well as different prospective that this issue can be looked upon ( College students, corporations,activist )

I saw the premiere in Los Angeles, and was one of the first to stand for the well-deserved standing ovation. This is a film that makes a tremendous philosophical case for the equality of all species, in a fun and entertaining way. The movie is speckled with numerous humorous moments that make the serious content palatable, leaving you feeling enlightened and empowered to make positive choices for your health, the environment, an animals.Most interesting and not often mentioned is the fact that Mark Devries, the director, was NOT vegan when he started out making this film. He was just curious about the topic and approached it with reason and critical thinking. He transformed his diet over the course of the making of the film, but knowing that you're learning with him as he goes, scene by scene of the movie, makes the experience even more fun because you feel a kind of camaraderie. Make some tasty animal-free appetizers, invite your friends over, and watch it together - it's a great ride!

NATURE IS AMORAL, BUT HUMANS NEED NOT BEThere is no suffering that humans inflict on nonhuman animals that we do not also inflict on humans. But the vast difference is that the suffering we inflict on humans is seen as wrong by most decent people worldwide -- and it is also against the law. Not so for animals. They are not protected by the law and most of us are not only unaware of their agony in breederies and slaughterhouses and in their destroyed habitats, but we are actively sustaining it as consumers. Most of us believe, for example, (1) that meat is obtained humanely, and (2) that it is necessary for our survival and health. Both of these beliefs are profoundly, tragically and demonstrably wrong. Reducing and eventually abolishing the gratuitous suffering that our species is inflicting on other species is one of the most pressing moral imperatives of our age. This film will help open the eyes and hearts of decent people worldwide to the enormity of the agony of innocent, helpless creatures at the hands of our species, to the fact that their suffering is unnecessary, and to the urgency of adopting laws to protect them.
