- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: This movie imagines it is telling you this information for the first time, and it’s very proud of itself for the perceived ingenuity of its message.

- Excerpt: If Fed Up and its display of tragic tykes, lax food regulations, diseases, distrust and ill-advised food consumption is a tough pill to swallow then think of this poignant and noteworthy narrative as a yummy powdered doughnut…maybe then the dire fodder as expressed in Soechtig’s contemplative documentary will agree with your guilty pleasure-seeking taste buds.

- Excerpt: It may be over-stating it to say that you should go see Fed Up, because it just might save your life. But I’m saying it.
