Bugs Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
While it may not provide many answers, the film does offer plenty of food for thought to go with its entertaining journey through the amazingly diverse world of edible bugs.
Screen Comment
Nathanael Hood
But Bugs resists the temptation to be benign or harmless.
Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)
Pamela Powell
It's a thought-provoking film that just may have you thinking twice before you fish out that fruit fly in your glass of wine!
The Playlist
Elazar Fine
[Bugs] lacks cohesion in its philosophy as well as its intent. Its biggest failure, however, is its inability to convince its audience that bugs could turn out to be a nice, light snack.
The Film Stage
John Fink
While Bugs is a brief yet fascinating culinary adventure in the vein of some of the more extreme shows you'll find on cable TV, it never overstays its welcome nor does the filmmaking dive into full-fledged manipulative activism.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A thought-provoking doc for adventurous foodies and environmentalists alike.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
David George Gordon
Of the three major documentaries about edible insects presently making the rounds (Bugs on the Menu, Bugs, and The Gateway Bug), Bugs is probably the most ambitious and, without question, the most eloquent of the lot.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's gently comic, a touch nave, and somewhat moving: These idealists are ready to fight to keep creepy-crawlies farm to table.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
If a diet that includes maggots, locusts, termites and buffalo worms doesn't entirely repel you, then the documentary "Bugs" might prove an intriguing look at the potential future of protein-rich nutrition sources for an expanding world.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Will send moviegoers out with a feeling of culinary adventurousness, eager to sample well-prepared escamoles (ant larvae) or termite queen with mango.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
It begins as a gleeful deadpan comedy and ends up as an exasperated cri de cur against our current system of industrialized food production and distribution.
