A strange yet riveting portrait of a marriage enduring a year spent making as little environmental impact as possible.

It may not be the greatest of cinematic exercises, and it often feels contrived, but this documentary somehow is enlightening, ridiculous, foreboding and funny at the same time.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
