Dropping us into a perfect storm of avarice, this cool and incisive snapshot of global capitalism at work is as remarkable for its access as for its refusal to judge.
Rachel Boynton’s extraordinary Big Men should come tagged with a warning: The side effects of global capitalism may include dizziness, nausea and seething outrage.
When on-the-ground reality is conveyed with the complexity and fascination it is here, unforgettable documentaries are always the result.
Boynton’s most impressive feat in Big Men is how she takes an impossibly convoluted scenario, makes sense of it and tells a story that’s riveting on its own but also serves as a parable about greed and human nature.
Boynton's film is refreshingly complex.
It's those bigger questions about our nature and our capacity to think beyond self interest that will stick with you.
Despite its successful attempts to show how oil has affected everyday citizens in nearby Nigeria, the film remains fairly dry.
