118<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;If you want to know how the world works, as opposed to how we are told it works – or how we wish it might work – you need to see &#8216;Big Men,&#8217; a remarkable new investigative documentary about oil, money, Africa and America that comes with Brad Pitt’s name attached as executive producer but was directed by Rachel Boynton.&#8221;</i></p>

124<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;There are three categories of schemers in &#8216;Big Men,&#8217; Rachel Boynton&#8217;s illuminating documentary about the oil business in West Africa: businessmen, politicians and bandits. Sometimes, though, it&#8217;s hard to tell the types apart.&#8221;</i></p>

126<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the rare current-affairs documentary that doesn&#8217;t just show us something gone wrong in some part of our world. Rachel Boynton&#8217;s first-rate &#8216;Big Men&#8217;
126 instead peels the skin off the world itself, revealing the gears as they grind away, casting familiar doc scenarios in shades of illuminating gray: The heroes and villains in global business aren&#8217;t always easy to suss out, but it&#8217;s never hard to spot the victims.&#8221;</i></p>

128<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Boynton’s most impressive feat in &#8216;Big Men&#8217; 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.&#8221;</i></p>

130<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;A kind of true-life, slow-motion disaster flick for the NPR set, director Rachel Boynton’s &#8216;Big Men&#8217; is an engaging documentary that roots down into the very human and relatable effects of the discovery of a huge African oil deposit upon a disparate variety of characters, from the penthouse to the pavement.&#8221;</i></p>

134<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Boynton pulls the thread and unravels a tale that gives fair balance to all sides of the equation, while asking a much bigger question about whether or not true human nature is guided by self-preservation (read: greed) or if people can truly act in the greater good.  And the answers are surprising.&#8221;</i></p>

136<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;What sets “Big Men” apart and makes it engrossing is the extraordinary degree of access Boynton had to the major parties and the deftness with which she uses it.&#8221;</i></p>

142<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Drilling far deeper than standard issue docs, the &#8216;Big Men&#8217; director’s rich, thrilling movies investigate people and their power plays. There’s real, volatile life here…&#8221;</i></p>

144<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Like a number of recent hot-button docus, from &#8216;Crude&#8217; to &#8216;Inside Job,&#8217; Rachel Boynton’s extraordinary &#8216;Big Men&#8217; should come tagged with a warning: The side effects of global capitalism may include dizziness, nausea and seething outrage. Using razor-sharp journalistic skill to untangle the knotty saga of an American petroleum company’s entrance into the West African republic of Ghana, Boynton’s film also poses a series of troubling philosophical questions: Is unchecked greed an intrinsic part of the human character? Is &#8216;the greater good&#8217; ever more than a convenient euphemism where big business and big government are concerned? Wide fest exposure and ancillary sales seem assured for this Tribeca world premiere, which also richly deserves a theatrical pickup.&#8221;</i></p>

146<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;No single resource is more essential to modern life than oil, and n
146o film offers a more incisive look at how the enormous wealth oil creates subverts the morality of individuals, corporations, even entire countries than Rachel Boynton&#8217;s compelling documentary &#8216;Big Men.'&#8221;</i></p>

148<p style="margin:0;"><i>&#8220;Rachel Boyton makes complex, character-based films about huge issues over multiple continents with several moving points of contact. &#8216;Big Men&#8217; is a multi-faceted nonfiction thriller about oil, geo-political intrigue and personal rises and falls that synthesises its immense ideas into a taut narrative. It is a feat of spectacular filmmaking which always foregrounds meaningful observations over grand gestures.&#8221;</i></p>
