[Gasland was] fundamentally dishonest … a deliberately false presentation for dramatic effect … [T]his movie certainly contributes to more public misunderstanding.

[U]nabashed and one-sided bashing of the oil and gas industry... The relatively esoteric issue of fugitive methane gives way to some really outrageous statements.
