The first thing to be said about Puff is how astonishingly beautiful it is. We are given a glimpse into a microscopic world that is endlessly fascinating and colorful, and the images themselves are a miracle of modern science. Added to this, we have good pacing; Yes, it does feel a little slow at times, almost as if it's happening under water (lol), but there are also some genuinely tense moments and the filmmakers should be commended for the way those moments are crafted.
This movie has been accused of having an agenda and and maybe it does, but it's far from preachy. It simply shows us the realities of a world we forget exists and informs us of our effect on it. The truth is that any modern nature documentary has to record the human affect or it's not doing its job; it's incomplete, and anyone bemoaning this fact probably has an agenda of their own.
Either way, Puff should be a good watch for documentary lovers, especially if they're interested in underwater life.
8/10.
