Both an engaging character study and a useful introduction to issues surrounding biodiversity. Read full review

Although it may not be the most vivid or exciting subject for cinematic exploration, the documentary Seeds of Time offers a vital, clear-headed look at the effects of climate change on global food security. Read full review

First-person accounts from individuals most affected by the drop in agricultural productivity are rarely the focus of the film's vision. Read full review

Fowler is not a terribly charismatic subject, but the matter-of-fact manner in which he delivers important information and the stunning depth of his knowledge compensates, as does the steady way in which McLeod reveals pertinent personal details about his life and work. Read full review

Perhaps it’s a hazard tied to a subject, seeds, which are all about potential, but Ms. McLeod’s film feels naggingly diffuse and insufficiently vivid in evoking diversity. Read full review
