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."

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"

""Crude" is a knock-your-socks-off documentary that will leave you speechless. It's the best documentary of the year."

Crude

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