	Media	Author	Review
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"[A] fascinating documentary (...) which should serve nicely as a major medical conversation starter."
		Ken Jaworowski The New York Times	"Every 'Oh wow' in 'Human Nature' is matched by an 'Oh no' somewhere down the line. Together, these two competing emotions — excitement and unease — make for one pretty fascinating documentary"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Maybe the best-yet guide for those mystified by CRISPR"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An engrossing documentary about Crispr, a breakthrough in molecular biology with enormous implications for treating genetic diseases (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"I wish there were more of the human element in 'Human Nature' (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] brings together scientists, journalists and potential test subjects for an engaging look at genetic modification."
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"An elegant, delicate, and beautiful documentary film that couldn’t be more relevant in our new normal because now, more than ever, we have no idea what the future holds (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
