Review of The Salt of the Earth (2014) by Facebook U — 02 Apr 2015
A beautifully photographed but poorly organized documentary that has trouble making up its mind what it's actually trying to be. The film often feels like it's reaching to make a point that it can't quite articulate, and the flow is frequently interrupted by changes in tone, direction and content, as well as an occasionally overly intrusive presence by the filmmakers in the finished product.
What could have easily been an elegant, aesthetically appealing collection of noble insights about man and his place in the world unfortunately gets bogged down in choppy execution, keeping the film from fully living up to its potential.
