 "...a devastatingly airtight, dramatic argument.... Fifty percent of America's electrical-energy needs come from coal, yet this film makes a very strong argument that the pollution, disease, death and environmental devastation are not worth the cost." |

 "...a wooden, deadly boring dud... the sort of mood Mike Leigh handles so well, but, unlike Leigh, director Matt McCormick fails to generate interest in the fate of his characters." |

 "[Jesse Bernstein's] very public lifestyle as a tortured poète maudit -- the Emerald City's own Charles Bukowski -- earned him a fond niche on Seattle's art and grunge-rock scenes.... He made no secret of his suffering, but why was life so unbearable for him? ...a crisp new documentary directed by Peter Sillen, goes a long way toward answering that question." |

 "...though the film is a trifle dull, one does come away with a sense of Gould as a human being, rather than the very odd, abrasive and opinionated outlier who wore gloves and a scarf even in warm weather..." |
