Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
vulture64 This film is fascinating, informative, and disturbing exploration of sugar's history and current impact. A 'must see' for all people, families, and should be shown in every school. Period.
Al Calavicci Even though midway claims of evil capital forcing sugar on people is emotional, not aimed at fixing the issue, psychological aspect of addiction depriving people of their potential, makes it the most valuable propaganda to date. Production quality seems rather the matter of time and budget. Silliness while unnecessary is fairly compensated with accessible factual load. Haters pay a lot of attention to calories being equal and thus think this documentary is nonsense but they ignore facts of psychological reaction specific to sugar. Sugar makes people feel love. It's mostly people raised in communities deprived of love altogether - like south USA, aboriginal reservations or undeveloped societies of post-soviet and Asian states. For anyone who still can't get it how to live without added sugar or flour just do what motivational coach said at the end of the film - try to prove it yourself that living without sugar is good for everyone. No need to fear the change - you can always go back to your previous diet but I'm pretty sure you won't have the desire to do so.
aheadofmytime Hollow copy of Super Size Me, weak journalistic value and pasted charm. Great emphasis on special effects and silly humor, but it doesn't really add anything. What are Hugh Jackman and Stephen Fry doing there? It just feels forced, just like the guy's reaction throughout the movie. It's just silly. The effects and childish tone probably works great to maintain the attention of the most sugar fueled part of the audience's but if you where looking for something with real substance and well thought-out and executed documentary, this is definitely not it.Unfortunately it also lacks genuine charm to make up for the lack of documentary craftsmanship. The guy is just not the nice, funny, cool guy he's trying to be (and the end sequence really underlines this narcissistic approach - ugh!). ZZzzzZZZ.
shamik_ghosh-1 nothing mind-blowing. but that does not mean that they are unimportant.the film will again make you remember about the dangerous food labyrinth that we are in. really a responsible attempt for our kids. it will tell you how omnipresent the sugar is. it's almost every where.the bottom lime is: AVOID PROCESSED / PACKAGED FOOD & DRINKS. EAT AS NATURE GIVES US.eat a fruit in it's original shape, not just the juice. Why? because it's harmful. avoid so-called health food / drinks : they all contain harmful quantity of sugar... ........good and praiseworthy attempt. hope, i'll remember them when someone offers me a coke.
