Reviews
For Gasland Part II
- “Josh Fox does it again in a brilliant GASLAND sequel” – Alison Rose Levy, Alternet
- “Gasland Part II shows how much higher the stakes have grown in the battle over fracking since Josh Fox made its predecessor.” – Grist
- “Haunting and Provocative” – LA Times
- “A must watch for all the environmentally conscious” – Examiner
- “The movie builds on Fox's Academy Award-nominated “Gasland,” further making the case of how the shale industry's hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) boom is busting up peoples' livelihoods, contaminating air and water, polluting democracy and serving as a “bridge fuel” only to propel us off the climate disruption cliff.” – DeSmogBlog
For Gasland Part I
- “…one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years.” – Variety
- “On the want-to-see- scale, GASLAND tops the list” – Washington Post
- “Riveting” – LA Weekly
- “GASLAND just might be the best film of the year.” – The Huffington Post
- “Over the past 8 days I was lucky enough to view 40 films…The most important film I saw was the documentary GASLAND…This examination of air quality and more specifically drinking water under attack from NYC to Ft. Worth was very eye opening.” – USA TODAY
- GASLAND is “well done. It holds people’s attention. And it could block our industry.” – Oil and Gas Journal President of the Natural Gas Supply Association
- “VOLCANIC…With humor and inquisitiveness, Fox has delivered 2010’s most alarming wake-up call.” – Hammer To Nail
- “This is the best documentary I have ever seen, because of Josh Fox’s wonderful revealing story. The narration is infused with humor, as Fox presents indisputable evidence of the fracking’s disastrous effect on America. He…displays the bipartisan nature of the issue. This is unflinching, unrelenting, and unbiased storytelling. The best film I’ve seen at Sundance.” – The Mixed Tape
- “When something emerges like Josh Fox’s GASLAND, a work of art which also happens to educate quite effectivelythis is why festivals, even the big ones, are capable of surprises, because wonderful things do seep through the cracks. Precisely because it was purely personal…and that it was as concerned with aesthetic matters as issues, GASLAND may also be some ideal of that cherished sub-genre in many festival circles, the environmental film, which tends to leave art behind for the topic it’s addressing.” – Cinemascope
