Critics consensus

“That Sugar Film is slick and entertaining, even if it settles for a surface look at a subject that could benefit from a far deeper exploration.”

Gameau ... inserts a bit of journalism into the mix with two road trips that elevate "That Sugar Film" beyond a semi-vanity production.

While "That Sugar Film" is filled with powerful and what should be downright alarming information, it also suffers from distracting bouts of cinematic candy coating.

The food-doc shelf is crowded with good-for-you movies, including "Fed Up," "Fast Food Nation," "Food Inc." and, yes, "Super Size Me." "That Sugar Film" is a worthy addition, entertaining while informing.

Both educative and entertaining... That Sugar Film should be applauded for boldly and effectively confronting the worrying rise in obesity in sugar-rich countries.
