    A powerful and affecting documentary. The brilliance of Crude is that it does not only show the side of the people being affected by the oil. It first shows you Chevron's view, then systematically proves it wrong. This seals up all the cracks of usual documentary making. Great job!

    Here's what's depressing: that, given the millions spent on defense by multinational conglomerates, our last best hope isn't the courts but the fickle attentions of glossy magazines and the noblesse oblige of celebrities.

    Ahead of us lie many more documentaries similar in tone and spirit to this one. We can hope that at least a few of them are as intelligently and artfully made.

    Berlinger is fully invested here, but a little distance might have helped.
