Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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

Patrick Pierce Greenlit subverts the eco-documentary by venturing into new territory: the film industry. Ever since An Inconvenient Truth, most films under the eco-documentary umbrella have focused on the devastating, yet broad focus of global warming and how we as humans are accelerating that devastation through our day-to-day lives. Greenlit is a microcosm of the genre, narrowing its gaze upon the environmental threat posed by the film and television business, far and away an unusual suspect when it comes to eco-docs.Greenlit centers on the "green production" of an independent film, and the benefits and challenges that accompany this mode of production. Through the viewpoints of the cast and crew, a number of diversified opinions are delivered on the practicality, viability, and likelihood that Hollywood would adopt "green productions" as an industry standard. Altogether, the differing perspectives, as well as the insightful footage taken from the film set make for an objective analysis of the environmental impact of what is an otherwise overlooked institution of the contemporary environmental debate.

courtneyhardebeck Greenlit is an informative and eye-opening documentary. Despite its serious subject matter, the film is fun and entertaining. It points out how easy it is to make small life-style changes that will positively impact the environment, but it also brings attention to how challenging and overwhelming it can be to attempt to implement those changes on a lager scale. It is the first documentary that I have seen that attempts to show how the green movement affects the film industry and vise versa. It definitely made me think about my own recycling habits, and brought to light how much more I can do to help the environment. I would recommend it to a friend.

bob020787 Greenlit is a solid documentary that not only illustrates the hypocrisy of the film industry when it comes to being environmentally conscious, but also does an excellent job of illustrating the challenges of creating a green set. By interviewing members of the cast and crew, the doc shows how they want to be green, but don't really want to alter their own habits to do it. Despite the great content, Greenlit struggled to find it's voice. At times the film dragged a lot and some elements of comedy fell flat. The narrative was a bit inconsistent and it wasn't entirely clear how successful they were at making a green film. Overall, however, this was a worthy documentary that did a fine job of presenting a problem and the hypocrisy that surrounds it.

rockstarchi I saw Greenlit on VOD recently and I really appreciated the candid look at "greening" a film. Director, Miranda Bailey, follows the cast and crew of indie, The River Why, which she is also producing. The decision to green the set shows to be harder than it looks but every attempt is made to save the earth one film at a time. With the help of a green film consultant, we see their attempt to ditch water bottles for refillable ones, compost their garbage, and recycle everything. Miranda herself is a skeptic and her sense of humor shines through, making this doc a very real and relative tale of a widely ignored and important issue. Hopefully, more folks in Hollywood will see this than not and do their part to make a difference, no matter how small.
