The 2019 documentary “Knock Down the House” got plenty of love from both Netflix and movie critics.
The latter hailed the film with a 99 percent “fresh rating. The documentary followed rising progressive politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Cori Bush. Netflix scooped the film up after its Sundance Film Festival debut, which meant the movie-going public never got a chance to weigh in on the film.
Netflix viewers had their say, though, giving the movie a dismal 11 percent rotten score at Rotten Tomatoes.
Director Rachel Lears’ follow-up project, “To the End,” also landed a screening slot at Sundance. The film reunites Lears with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to track the New Yorker’s fight to stop Climate Change.
Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, TO THE END captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. Award-winning director Rachel Lears (Knock Down The House) follows four exceptional young women— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas— as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation’s right to a future.
The film debuted over the weekend on 120 screens, a number typical of movies hoping to grab enough of an audience earlier on to merit a wider release pattern.
Critics loved it, too, although not as enthusiastically as “Knock Down the House.” RogerEbert.com predicted the film will “ignite more Americans” to take action against Climate Change.
Roadside Attractions' documentary on climate change, TO THE END, "starring" AOC, was voted out of the box office--just $9,667 in 120 theaters, $81 per.
Yes, $81 per.
The movie came in 33rd place over the weekend at the box office, earning a paltry $9,667 in its debut frame.
Oscar-bait films have struggled this season. That failure can be attributed to several factors:
The industry’s alienation of key swaths of the American public
Films disconnected from viewer interests
The proliferation of streaming platforms eating into audience demand
Audiences no longer trust critics as they once did
Recent Climate Change documentaries have similarly failed to score with U.S. audiences. “2040,” released three years ago, didn’t get a theatrical debut stateside and earned just $1 million in global ticket sales.
This year’s “The Territory,” about indigenous people fighting against Climate Change, earned just $69 K during its brief theatrical run.
Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” set a sky-high bar for Climate Change documentaries.
The 2006 release generated $24 million at the U.S. box office before snagging the Best Documentary Oscar. That film’s 2017 follow-up, “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” couldn’t rally that level of enthusiasm.
In typical Hollywood fashion, AOC will probably get nominated for an Oscar.
Hollywood: “AOC needs to make a Oscar winning documentary to boost her credibility”
DNC: “How? She is about a smart as fence post who relies on the votes of idiots to stay in power. She doesn’t believe in any of that bullshit”.
Hollywood: “Just make it. We will take care of the rest”
It’s like that book Hillary wrote. Have you ever met anyone who actually bought and read it.
Wealthy white Liberals probably bought them all up to boost sales and just had them hauled off. I picture a huge dilapidated warehouse in some remote location piled full of them,
I hate to watch anything that received any accolades from the Sundance Film Festival. It's always a red flag to me because it's more likely than not to be a pseudo intellectual bullshit film that puts you to sleep if you actually try to pay attention to all of it. If AOC's silly ass is in it, that increases the likelihood exponentially that will likely be the case IMO.

Sundance is too big for it's britches.
The real flixs to check out are the equivalent "off broadway" festivals.
*I* would think the great majority of movies that end up at SD don't do so well in public since it is hard for an indie production to get traction.

sundance is certainly too full of itself. it is however a place where those indie art house films can get some attention. the big studios don't have much use for sundance really, other than photo ops for the casts.
Actually, the big studios go there so they can save the expense of putting the celluloid together and just distribute what they think that will make a buck.

On the environment China and India building a new dirty coal plant every week and countries all over the world including Germany restarting coal plants. Even the US has increased coal exports by 300%
On AOC for the second time received violation warnings from the House ethics committee She moved $800,000 from campaign account to her own personal account and recently received $40,000 in gifts Waiting to see how much she received for participating in the Netflix documentary
The overall climate of the Earth has changed in the past and will change, is changing. I am not convinced that there is much we (the human race) can effectively do about it.
In the near-distant past, the level of the oceans was much lower, about 400 to 600 FEET lower, all around the globe. The Black SEa ws a much shallower freshwater lake and ice covered the Northern Tier of states a mile (or more) thick.
Later on, but still in the (much nearer) past, the level of the seas, worldwide, was a good bit higher than it is now. . . .by 89 feet or so. Florida was mostly low-lying islands then. Coastlines around the world were different.
Even during the most recent few thousand years of recorded history, the climate has fluctuated from warmer than now to colder. This is not controversial or open to politically motivated debate, the archeology and written records show it.
Anyway, according to prominent climate alarmists, we only have eight years left now.

Agreed.
Jarrod Diamond wrote a pretty good book devoting a chapter about how the climate wiped out many thriving in the American southwest.
They are already having to deal with water shortages in that region.

This is true.
But do they state the period of time that elapsed for these changes in the past and is the current global warming happening at an extremely faster rate than the past? If so, proof that the human race did something to contribute since there seems to be a causaul (sp) relationship to the number of human beings on the planet now than the last time such occurred.
AOC's climate change documentary was the darling of the Sundance Fiilm Festival. of course it flopped Bigly!
