Probably not scientifically balanced, but thought provoking

Another interesting but still biased documentary

I am 99% vegetarian (I occasionally eat fish) but not necessarily planning to go vegan. Still I always like to get more information on plant-based diets and I appreciated Forks Over Knives for having a different take on the topic than The Game Changers for example. While the latter had great production and entertainment values, this documentary feels more grounded; however, they are still pretty biased and either exaggerate or ignore certain facts to fit the narrative. That's too bad as I'm aligned with everything those documentaries are about and I wish for once they would stick to the facts 100% as I believe that's enough to drive the point across. But as flawed as they may be, I am thankful these documentaries are helping the discussion around nutrition get started among the general public.

Great & important information, really bad filmmaking

I would rate this a 10 for the information contained in the film.

But I'd rate it a 2 for filmmaking.

But the information is more important, thus the non-averaged score of 8.

This is one of those movies where you have such amazing and important information being given to the viewer, but it's done in such a badly constructed way that it's difficult to watch. The narration is about as boring as any I've every heard. There's no narrative line, so to speak. The filmmaker had no idea how to tell the amazing story he was trying to tell. And the sound is truly awful at times. But that said, the information contained here is something we ALL should see and hear and understand. So, if you put it on, and are immediately turned off as to how bad it is, stick with it. You will learn how to live a longer healthier life, and for that we can forgive the bad filmmaking.
