A long-time environmental activist, Gore first became aware of evidence on global warming in the 1970s, and since leaving public office he has become a passionate advocate for large- and small-scale changes in our laws and lifestyles that could help alleviate this crisis. An Inconvenient Truth records a multi-media presentation hosted by Gore in which he discusses the scientific facts behind global warming, explains how it has already begun to affect our environment, talks about the disastrous consequences if the world's governments and citizens do not act, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for this and future generations. An Inconvenient Truth was directed by Davis Guggenheim, a veteran documentary filmmaker who also has an extensive background in episodic television.

  1. Positive review
    Peter Travers, Rolling Stone It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams.
  2. Positive review
    Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Paul Arendt, BBC t's an enduring irony of movies that one guy talking can be more compelling than a million dollars in locations, extras and effects. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Dave Calhoun, Time Out It is utterly convincing, it's emotionally powerful and it makes Gore look more charming than he ever did as a presidential candidate. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] Despite or perhaps because of Gore's schoolmasterly attitudes, his arguments have force. A kind of anti-charisma sees it through. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Helen OHara, Empire Magazine Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case. You'll believe a film can change the world. Full review External link
  7. Positive review
    Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile Gore is inspired here, a man on a crusade that slide by slide and impassioned remark by remark drives home the inconvenient truth about global warming. It's an alarming scenario so calling him alarmist really misses the point. Full review External link
  8. Positive review
    Garth Franklin, Dark Horizons The educational moments work beautifully, the personal bits don't. Still, one of the year's best - frightening, compelling and at points unforgettable. Full review External link
  9. Positive review
    Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal The film succeeds powerfully, even though it's short on practical solutions, makes some questionable statements of fact and, given Gore's current ambiguous position in public life, requires a tighter focus on the message than on the messenger.
