A week ago, I was browsing the top grossing movies on the Apple TV when I stumbled upon this new documentary called Fed Up. The summary sounded solid, after viewing the trailer this looked like the next Food Inc.. Did Fed Up live to my expectations? Continue reading to find out.
When viewing a documentary, the most important part of the movie itself to me is the content. Luckily, Fed Up is very interesting. Fed Up's main topic is the overwhelming amount of added sugar in everyday foods, even in the bare essentials like grains and vegetables. Like Food Inc., Fed Up explores it's topic through stories coming from victims of added sugar and interviews. However, unlike Food Inc., you never get a "behind-the-scenes" look at the problem and what's at stake.
The other fundaments creating a good documentary include not only visuals, but like I said before, for the movie to be interesting. Fed Up does just that. For people with a short attention span like me viewing film isn't very difficult, as the subject matter is eye-opening and it made me not able to stop the movie, not even for a second.
Visuals in Fed Up are great. The interviews themselves look fine, but what sets Fed Up apart from many documentaries are the exceptional graphics. Throughout the movie, I was treated to amazing graphics detailing the absurd amount of sugar, as well as beautiful comparisons.
Overall, Fed Up is a must see for anyone who enjoyed Food Inc. and/or everyone. If you're wondering about a score, from now, any documentary I'll review will not have a score, unless I really didn't find a liking toward it.
