Hurricane on the Bayou Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
The narrative is built one happy cliche at a time until the story of Katrina ceases to be about appalling environmental neglect, or the colossal failure of the federal government to manage a disaster.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The smart, classy Hurricane on the Bayou preaches an invaluable environmental lesson for children and parents: Don't monkey with the ecosystem without expecting payback.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Erika Gonzalez
Despite its split personality, Hurricane offers more good than bad, including a lively soundtrack featuring Benoit, the Neville Brothers and Fats Domino.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Katrina will end up changing the entire South, from Houston to Florida, for decades to come, yet Bayou still insists on its upbeat gospel ending.
Film Journal International
Lewis Beale
Hurricane on the Bayou makes its points in a compelling, and moving, manner.
San Diego Union-Tribune
Arthur Salm
[Features] a knockout soundtrack, some very impressive gators and two irresistible forces: Hurricane Katrina and 14-year-old fiddler and eco-warrior Amanda Shaw.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
...amazing footage of Katrina's aftermath...
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
not simply another 'isn't it tragic' picture of the Gulf Coast, post-Katrina. The movie spends just as much time celebrating the joyous music that has always been a part of New Orleans...
Sacramento Bee
Edward Ortiz
Though some of the images of the aftermath will seem chillingly familiar, there is ample aerial footage of the destruction that carries a deeper impact because of the wide screen.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Townsend
A convincing and entertaining argument for the importance of preserving Louisiana's wetlands.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
It effectively showcases the indomitable spirit that has held the area together over the last year.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
This is an often-moving film, but its approach to life in post-Katrina Louisiana is hopeful, even celebratory.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The devastation left by Hurricane Katrina has been well documented, but seeing it on a giant Imax screen makes it hit home in a way other media can't match.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Although its subject matter gets tossed around a little, "Hurricane on the Bayou" always gets its message across.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard James Havis
While it attempts to be apolitical, the filmmakers short shrift of what happened during and after Hurricane Katrina weakens an otherwise worthy film.
Boxoffice Magazine
Bridget Byrne
It's a gumbo stew of a movie in which all the ingredients don't meld neatly, but then it has an excuse: Nature beat it to the punch.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Seen on an Imax screen, the now-familiar imagery of the devastation in New Orleans and other areas takes on a new resonance as the sheer size of the affected areas is felt more fully.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
John Wirt
The film's originally speculative scenario became reality on Aug. 29, 2005.
L.A. Weekly
Chuck Wilson
A film free of political fury, but full of activist optimism, this tame but heartfelt documentary is a fine companion piece to a day at the science museum.
