Reviews

Ökozid has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.2 out of 10, indicating a polarized reception. Some reviewers praised Edgar Selge’s intense performance and the film’s commitment to tackling urgent environmental issues, noting that the movie "offers a compelling, albeit heavy-handed, look at ecological crisis." However, others criticized its pacing and narrative structure, suggesting that the film sometimes sacrifices storytelling clarity for message-driven content. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a consolidated score for Ökozid, reflecting its limited release and niche audience. Critics at film-focused sites highlighted its "ambitious thematic scope" but pointed out that the execution could feel "didactic and uneven." Despite the criticisms, Ökozid is recognized for sparking essential conversations about the environment and personal accountability, making it a significant, if somewhat flawed, contribution to eco-themed cinema.
