VividSimon Simply Perfect
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Bryce Rumbles ... but it's entertaining. Roy Blount's sense of humor is sardonic and generally very dry -- unlike his subject, ba-DUM-bum! Some of the photography is absolutely gorgeous... until the Mighty Mississippi starts getting industrialized and heavily polluted, long about St. Louis. For those of us who live near-enough-to-be-interested, yet far-enough-not-to-see-it-regularly, it's a must-see documentary. Recommended!
