Rating: 3.5/5 -- Though one-sided and all too happy to assail an easy target such as a monstrous oil company, Crude backs up its rhetoric by providing footage and images of the people and terrain affected... Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- This intense documentary tells a hugely important story that's packed with compelling characters and situations. Although a repetitive structure and a sense of agonising futility conspire to undermine the vital lessons it has to teach us. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Structurally a little jumbled, it's still a worthy addition to the angry eco-doc subgenre. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Gripping and powerful, Crude is documentary journalism as it needs to be. Blissful ignorance stirred with bland apathy is no longer an option.

Rating: 6/10 -- Well shows how a canny public relations campaign is a key part of legal strategy to even up the odds in the court of world opinion. . .But does not get below the surface. Full Review

[W]hat CRUDE does best is take us behind the scenes and show in often candid detail how campaigns are waged, tactics decided on and strategies prioritized.

Rating: 4/5 -- The Ecuadorians' fight continues, and their courage isn't to be doubted. Even the much-mocked, much-maligned campaigner Trudie Styler emerges with credit for supporting them. Full Review

Product Description:

Director Joe Berlinger continues in the tradition of his justice-driven films BROTHER’S KEEPER and PARADISE LOST with this documentary. CRUDE travels to South America, where it investigates the mammoth "Amazon Chernobyl" case from a variety of angles, refusing to take the side of any single person or side. Though it is a non-fiction documentary in form, Berlinger’s film has the pull of a legal drama where human life and the environment are at stake.
