Our take

With stylish compositions, exquisite rhythm, and straightforward observation, Nikolaus Geyrhalter (Homo Sapiens) provides an uncomfortably eye-opening documentary on industrial food production. A devastating state of affairs featuring indelible images, and yet a compelling and essential watch.
