Waste Land
A joy to watch despite the abject poverty it contains, Waste Land transcends the artist-doc format and has a broad emotional appeal that should ensure a warm reaction from theatrical audiences. Easily as concerned with social and environmental issues as it is with the fine-art career that sets it in motion, the movie never focuses on big issues at the expense of the individuals it encounters.
– John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
Strangely enough, even though a focus point of the film is the largest landfill in the world, there's a great deal of beauty throughout the film - Muniz's artwork, the gorgeous skies over Jardim Gramacho and the faces (real, photographed and drawn out of garbage) of the characters. This mix of art with the many different stories and angles makes for a truly superb film (winner of the World Cinema Audience Award at 2010 Sundance).
