Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

wilsontennis132 This was potentially the worst documentary I have ever scene. Although the point of this video was to make people aware of the dangers of Vinyl, I feel as though I want to use Vinyl more just to spite the main character. Ha, Im surprised the Genre was labeled "Documentary", if you are interested in viewing a good comedy watch this movie! I will never retrieve that hour and a half in my life. She literally gets owned at every step of the way and eventually achieves a grand total of nothing. I was forced to watch this for my environmental science class and came out as a changed person (but not in a good way). Save your self some time, life, sanity, and go watch Casino Royale.

tzaniello Besides a great subtitle--"the world's first toxic comedy"--Dan Gold and Judith Helfand's documentary combines a family drama (persuading Helfand's parents not to use PVC or polyvinyl chloride siding on their home) with a scathing expose of an industry that has been incredibly successful in literally wrapping a toxic product around millions of people. Toting a sheet of blue vinyl siding from episode to episode, Helfand and Gold provide us with a deft touch of what a great documentary can do- -inform, entertain, and warn. Fans of Michael Moore's documentaries will find this film a welcome addition to the canon of documentaries by committed filmmakers who can tell an important story with verve and analytical skill.

John Seal Interesting that the two previous 'comments' for this film are from 'film fans' who have opinions about no other films! The complaints mentioned--that the film is based on 'biased' science, and that the spokesperson for the Vinyl Institute was extremely convincing--don't outweigh the considerable evidence on display here. To set the record straight: Judith Helfand DID interview two scientists associated with Greenpeace. She also interviewed a scientist, previously employed by the vinyl industry, who agreed with the contention that, yes, PVC is a potential toxin. There are also interviews with an Italian scientist, other American scientists, and a plethora of PVC victims who became seriously ill after exposure in the workplace to PVC. On a less contentious note, this is one of the most enjoyable 'doomsday' docs out there, and Ms. Helfand is a delightful and entertaining host, even as she points out the obvious: big money will always trump public health and environmental safety.

cmyklefty You think vinyl is safe? This film Blue Vinyl make you think about how polyvinyl chloride is made and the products we use everyday for living. The consequences of the manufacture, use and disposal of vinyl, how get rid of the material can be fatal for the workers in the industry plant and people around the plant. It digs deeper that this means to our health in general public. It is light and funny, but straight to the point. After the watching film at the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema, I saw the directors Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand and told them it a film that will open your eyes about the world around us. The directors were glad to hear about the comment of the film. A film not to be missed.
