“After eighteen years of research and media coverage of the crop circle phenomenon, I think this is the most truthful and accurate documentary that has ever been made.”

“I loved this film. It approaches the beautiful and present mystery of crop circles with openness and honesty. When it skillfully shows us the human dilemma in dealing with this mystery, it is a big lesson for us all. Highly recommended.”

“In the ten years that I have been documenting the crop circle phenomenon, I have never seen a documentary that got it right – until I saw CircleSpeak. This is an exceptionally intelligent and thought -provoking film.”

“I found this film to be a work of well-balanced and informative analysis. Not only does it cover the circles mystery with detached reverence and respect, it provided one with a rare insight into the motivations and characters of the key figures involved in the study of this potentially profound and stimulating enigma. Beautifully shot, edited and presented with an open-minded professionalism rarely seen with such fringe subject matter. Seekers of the truth and the curious alike will find this a very useful tool indeed.”

“Circlespeak is a reverent impartial view of the crop circle phenomenon, and the people who have been irresistibly drawn to it. Intelligently narrated and beautifully photographed, it puts you at the center of its enthralling subject.

“I thought it was a superb representation of the complexities of the crop circle world – and indeed the circles themselves. It was totally balanced - you were fair to everyone – and covered just about every aspect I could imagine.”

“This film should be viewed with mind and eyes wide open. The phenomenon is still at the top of the list and so is this film , a collector’s item and researcher’s encyclopedia.”

Sure, the experts love it, but what about their girlfriends?
