What the critics say
Critics call the pesticide and food-safety subject urgent and important, but say the courtroom drama itself is weak, one-sided, melodramatic and unevenly paced, with an emotional second half that doesn't fully make up for it.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 6 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
