Rating: B- -- Despite Everything's desire to distance itself from other climate change ventures, these early stories are perhaps the most conventionally structured for a documentary, and also the most engaging. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- The evenly wrought film accessibly argues that runaway capitalism and short-term economic growth at all costs has caused an imminent catastrophe, and that global warming is the hot-foot instigator for a radical change in economic thinking. Full Review

If, as many seem to believe, we are presiding over the possible annihilation of our species, then maybe we need a kick in the pants more than a reassuring hug. Full Review

At best, it is a pretty conventional documentary about climate change that offers up a few solutions (cooperative action, renewable energy). Full Review

An unsettling but ultimately encouraging documentary about global warming and grassroots activism. Full Review

Beware an ideologue in confessional mode. Whatever Klein's misgivings, they haven't prevented her partner Avi Lewis from recycling the genre's most hackneyed tropes. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- It distinguishes itself among similar planet-loving docs by showing evidence there is hope in what can often seem an overwhelming bleak task to begin repairs to an industrial-damaged world. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we'll ever get to build a better world? Directed by journalist and filmmaker Avi Lewis, produced in conjunction with Naomi Klein's bestselling book of the same name, and filmed over 211 shoot days in nine countries and five continents over four years, This Changes Everything is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change. The film presents seven portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana's Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Naomi Klein's narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
