Fury, Up Close and Personal, at the Lingering Effects From the BP Oil Spill  The Big Fix is an enraged exposé of the crimes of Big Oil, specifically BP, which has been accused of negligence and of taking shortcuts that helped lead to the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig off the Louisiana coast in April 2010. The films conspiratorial viewpoint makes sense and is probably accurate. --The New York TimesThe New York Daily News Documentary about last year s BP oil spill Do movies like The Big Fix make a difference in exposing hidden corruption and deceit? It would be nice to think so, for the duped and dismissed citizens of the Gulf Coast portrayed here could use as much help as they can get. Louisiana native Josh Tickell and his wife, Rebecca Harrell Tickell, chronicle the aftermath of the 2010 BP oil spill, which has gone largely unreported. What they find is sadly unsurprising, but dismaying nonetheless: a political culture in which corporate needs come first and citizen safety is roundly ignored. They present so much damning evidence that their case is one hopes impossible to ignore. --The New York Daily NewsThe films scope is staggering, including its detailed outlining of BP s origins and fingerprints across decades of unrest in Iran. By doing smart, covert reporting that shames our news media, by interviewing uncensored journalists, by speaking with locals whose health has been destroyed, and by interviewing scientists who haven t been bought by BP (many have, as the film illustrates), Fix stretches into a mandatory-viewing critique of widespread government corruption, with one of the film s talking heads remarking, I don t have any long-term hope for us [as a country] unless we find a way to control campaign financing. --LA Weekly
