Observer (UK)
Rating: 3/4 --
The charisma of Minervini's subjects is powerful enough to cut through the ethnographic vibe...

Chicago Reader
Rating: 3/5 --
In the film, shot with elegiac finality in black and white, Minervini makes subtle communitarian and intergenerational connections between the stories.

Guardian
A ambitious piece of documentary filmmaking...What we are left with is chaos but maybe that is what the filmmaker wants us to feel the chaos of that world.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A rightfully fuming and attentive cinematic meditation that follows the delicate lives of a number of mostly black men and women in the American South.

Rating: 6 --
World's on Fire never manages to bring the different elements of the narrative together. It's neither truly immersive nor is it able to establish a critical distance from its subjects

Sight and Sound
It's the most unproductive type of sociopolitical film, especially in today's climate, in that it aims to incite but not to motivate.

Description by OLDIES.com:
What You Gonna Do When The World's On Fire is the story of a community of black people in the American South during the summer 2017, when a string of brutal killings of black men sent shockwaves throughout the country. A meditation on the state of race in America, this film is an intimate portrait of those who struggle for justice, dignity, and survival.
