4.5/5
"A well-balanced and thought-provoking documentary that doesn't forget the cinema-going experience needs to entertain as well as educate."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

3/5
"while Berlinger allows the film to get a little too star-struck, spending less time with the winningly humble patchwork alliance doing the lawsuit's hard work, Crude at least acknowledges the reason behind this shift"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

A+
""Crude" is a knock-your-socks-off documentary that will leave you speechless. It's the best documentary of the year."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

4/5
"'Crude,' thankfully, brings insight and urgency to an issue that has until recently been ignored"  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

3/4
"Crude is both a tribute to human-rights tenacity and a sobering account of the multinational-Moloch greed that can keep justice in limbo."  Slant Magazine  Fernando F. Croce

4/5
"A dynamic and dramatic documentary about the David vs. Goliath dimensions of the "Amazon Chernobyl" case where indigenous tribal groups are fighting the multinational corporation Chevron."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

B
"...a better balance of the human element against that of politics and courtrooms would have given the film a stronger emotional hook."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

B-
"...good documentary filmmaking and an interesting, thought-provoking, subject."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
