- 100San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonSan Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIn the face of this relentless nihilism, it’s quite an achievement that the new documentary Wasted! The Story of Food Waste is so darned entertaining and hopeful, as well as informative.
- 90Paste MagazineAmy GlynnPaste MagazineAmy GlynnWasted is super optimistic, full of fantastic food-porn, and oftentimes hilarious. I was getting itchy myself before it was over, not because I was uncomfortable or bored but because I was excited to remember it might not be too late to plant winter crops in my small suburban backyard.

- 67Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenWasted! is sure to be mind-expanding for anyone who’s never contemplated what happens when excess food is scraped off one’s plate. But the film’s real novelty lies in the demonstration of actual solutions that have already been put into practice.
