Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Greenlit is a great little documentary about the impact the film industry has on the environment. The movie chronicles the filmmaker herself, Miranda Bailey, during the making of a movie called "The River Why". The filmmakers hire an outside company to come in and help make their movie "Green" which ends up being quite the process. The green consultant who comes in helps the cast and crew of the movie recycle and implement different techniques to make the set more eco-friendly. Through this narrative, the movie manages to be both engaging and informative at the same time. This is what's great about the movie; that it is both a well made film as well as being an educational documentary. The movie definitely stays with you, showing the negative impact that things as seemingly insignificant as discarded plastic bottles have on the environment. It definitely makes you think twice about some of your bad habits. For film enthusiasts and people in the industry, it strikes an even deeper chord, showing how much energy and material is wasted across film sets every day. Most of the techniques used by the green consultant for the film shoot aren't that difficult to do, most as simple as separating trash from recycling. However, the movie is keen to show that just one individual's mistake can ruin the entire process. The film does an excellent job at reminding us that the biggest impact on the environment comes from the smallest of personal habits.

I thought this film posed a lot of great questions about how the film industry can be more green. I didn't realize what an impact the film industry has on pollution and this was very eyeopening. Overall, it was a really great look at the problems film industry professionals face when it comes to being environmentally friendly, especially low budget films. This documentary takes a unique approach since it follows the production of a low budget film, which poses the question: How can you be environmentally friendly with limited funds? It also discusses problems with some high profile films that were created and their impact on the environment. It's definitely worth watching and it will make you look at the process of filmmaking in a different way pertaining to environmental consciousness.

Greenlit is an informative and eye-opening documentary. Despite its serious subject matter, the film is fun and entertaining. It points out how easy it is to make small life-style changes that will positively impact the environment, but it also brings attention to how challenging and overwhelming it can be to attempt to implement those changes on a lager scale. It is the first documentary that I have seen that attempts to show how the green movement affects the film industry and vise versa. It definitely made me think about my own recycling habits, and brought to light how much more I can do to help the environment. I would recommend it to a friend.

I saw Greenlit on VOD recently and I really appreciated the candid look at "greening" a film. Director, Miranda Bailey, follows the cast and crew of indie, The River Why, which she is also producing. The decision to green the set shows to be harder than it looks but every attempt is made to save the earth one film at a time. With the help of a green film consultant, we see their attempt to ditch water bottles for refillable ones, compost their garbage, and recycle everything. Miranda herself is a skeptic and her sense of humor shines through, making this doc a very real and relative tale of a widely ignored and important issue. Hopefully, more folks in Hollywood will see this than not and do their part to make a difference, no matter how small.
