Gasland
Who could have anticipated that one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years would be the work of a Gotham theater director who's never before made a doc? Nobody, perhaps least writer-director Josh Fox, whose Gasland may become to the dangers of natural gas drilling what Silent Spring was to DDT.
Robert Koehler, Variety.
Stripped to its essence, this extraordinary documentary tells the old story about the abuse of power... the powerful screwing the non-powerful... the rich buying favor that costs the poor dearly... An old story told in an infinite variety of ways, but always with the same old greed. (...) Although not the best shot film – the man really needs a better camera – Gasland just might be the best film of the year.
Stewart Nusbaumer, Huffington Post
Politics at its worst, art at its most contrived, and contradictions of fact found around every bend of the river.
