Ratings and reviews

This is a brilliant documentary, very important and well worth a watch. However, don't rent from Google. You can watch it free on YouTube on NatGeo channel as all other streamers said theres would be available free also, rather than letting Google profit from it.

DiCaprio is sincere, and getting access to President Obama, Secretary Kerry, Pope Francis, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Dr Piers Sellers is a sign of the strength of his message. The editing and narrative is a bit disjointed, but overall a good documentary.

A tale of two halves. The first 50 minutes manage to rekindle some of the magic of the first movie. After this, it falls flat, and the ending is an anti-climax.
