The Grab Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
A globe-trotting documentary. I found it illuminating and fascinating.
Nonfics (Substack)
Christopher Campbell
Is it daunting? Yes. But it's incredibly necessary
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
Cowperthwaite and Halverson lay it all out. It's now on us to force our politicians to adjust … if voters still have the ability to do such things anymore.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite becoming unfocused as the details unfold, the film is eye-opening, although perhaps it shouldn't be.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
A longer or more episodic version of "The Grab" might have been able to accommodate tangents about pirates and jetpacks; this version of "The Grab" doesn't even have an unhappy ending.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The Grab makes a firm case that we're on the precipice of a different kind of world-if we haven't fallen off it already.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
A lot of the film's dot-connecting is illuminating, but some of it fails to convince.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
may alert some to the dangers of foreign investment, but those country's needs must also be addressed and if they rely on Westerners cutting back on over consumption, the future does not look bright.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
The Grab makes a clear choice to conclude not just with doomsaying, but with a call to action and a look at the things that can still be done to avert a global crisis.
Drink in the Movies
Taylor Baker
While the film doesn't quite square the round hole, it touches on a myriad of worthwhile topics, if only it spent more time going over specific data.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rich Smith
Instead of spending 105 minutes watching this, you'd be better served reading a single book about US imperialism.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
Cowperthwaite's most impressive achievement is that her film doesn't just explain what has happened or what is happening but also what will happen.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The "Grab" is indeed a grabber, and puts on the front burner an important, spilling way over the place issue that's been on the back burner for too long.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The "holy sh*t" documentary of the year.
Next Best Picture
Nadia Dalimonte
"The Grab" may be challenging to grasp at times, but the passion for telling as much story as possible is understandable when the stakes are alarmingly high.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
Cowperthwaite delivers on the promise of her breakthrough feature doc Blackfish...with another incendiary exposé.
FirstShowing.net
Alex Billington
It's the next major doc that can change the entire conversation just like An Inconvenient Truth did.
IndieWire
Robert Daniels
While the craft on display in "The Grab" shouldn't be ignored... the subsequent film is ultimately a bundle of figures splayed across a sluggish run time.
Variety
Peter Debruge
"The Grab" unspools like a thriller in one sense and a dystopian science fiction movie in another.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Its topic is unquestionably a crucial issue for our age and its approach to that topic both has journalistic rigor and represents a thoroughly admirable depiction of journalistic rigor at a moment at which we put too little value on such things.
