Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Dec 14, 2015
While Whelan repeats his points too much, it remains gripping and maddening throughout to watch him run into stone walls. Go to Full Review
Nick Schager Variety Dec 4, 2015
No matter its cinematic derivativeness, "Stink!'s" outcry against continuing to use the American citizenry as chemistry experiment guinea pigs carries with it the unassailable whiff of common sense. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Nov 26, 2015
A heartfelt documentary about the chemical industry's aggressive efforts to conceal the thousands of potentially toxic ingredients contained in everyday products. Go to Full Review
Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Nov 27, 2015
A chilling exploration of the toxic underpinnings of the word "fragrance" that appears on detergents and colognes alike. Go to Full Review
Frank Lovece Film Journal International Nov 25, 2015
Breezy, Michael Moore-ish environmental documentary by a non-tree-hugging venture capitalist advocates for disclosure of carcinogenic chemicals in everyday products. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Nov 24, 2015
2/5
A rather slipshod approach to the science of the subject undermines what might otherwise be a very strong film. Go to Full Review

Kylo S Feb 9, 2019 Ugh. Angry rich New York liberal lashing out at someone (and probably anyone) for his wife's death with no evidence it was chemicals...or anything else. Gross. See more
Luke G Dec 18, 2018 The documentary was 85 minutes too long. Companies use mystery ingredients for fragrance; some of those ingredients might be harmful. End of movie. See more
Ron S Nov 24, 2018 Insightful important information that everyone should know.
Albus S Nov 21, 2018 As Far As Documentaries Go, The Ground Covered Here Lacks The Depth Of Other Well-Schooled & Hard-Nosed Investigative Journalism. This Is More Of A "Mind The Step" / "Don't Bump Ya Head" Kinda Deal. It Travels Needlessly Over The Same Ground Without Developing Anything New Other Than The Original Premise Covered In The First 20-Minutes. Preeches To The Otherwise Converted. See more
Abraham P Nov 20, 2018 A potentially interesting topic undermined by scientific facts presented out of context to suit the director's narrative. Constant home video footage of the director's (unfortunately) deceased wife shows his emotional attachment to the subject, which doesn't serve his purpose of trying to present "scientific research." Watch this documentary and you might be fooled into thinking everything from nature is good and everything made in a laboratory is evil and toxic, also that the Earth is flat and can you ward off bad omens by throwing a pinch of salt over your left shoulder. The most interesting question this documentary raised for me was why is America so obsessed with making everything smell like apples, sugar and spice? See more
Nov 7, 2018 As a member of a family with 3 generations of women who have had breast cancer, I think this documentary is of dire importance. Not only does it expose our failed FDA and political system in protecting our health, it exposes our lack of knowledge as to what products can do to our long term health. This documentary pulls at your heart strings as you follow a single dad with two daughters who lost their mother to breast cancer. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to be informed.
