"Perhaps Stone feared that too much colorful detail would undermine the seriousness of his theme. The unfortunate result is that the film ends up on the dry side, with the deadly feel of an educational film." — Steven Farber, THReviews, The Hollywood Reporter http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/film-review-earth-days-1003934532.story

"Saw at the Wisconsin Film Festival. Fascinating history of the things that worked and what didn't in the environmental movement in the US. Wonderful to have the legends of the struggle talk about what they did and where they think they failed and what they are doing now." - pattiakramer, Flixsterhttp://www.flixster.com/movie/earth-days
