Leave your thoughts about Big Boys Gone Bananas!*.
| indieWireSerena DonadoniFrustration, fear and anger are palpable throughout Big Boys Gone Bananas!* even though Fredrik Gertten approaches the heated rhetoric with a cool head. |
| GuardianXan BrooksGertten's film deftly lifts the lid on the black ops of 21st-century "brand management". Dole comes out smelling of ordure. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinBig Boys Gone Bananas!* makes a damning case against Dole as a corporate bully eager to silence criticism, but it raises troubling questions about the veracity of its own case it frustratingly has no interest in answering. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsThe film's protests of censorship ring hollow given its selective version of the truth. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA compelling story about freedom of speech, and how in a worldwide economy and digital age companies are even more apt to take aggressive measures to squelch voices and stories that can negatively impact their bottom lines. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonA punchy examination of an oppressive corporate machinery in full swing. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsA sweetly quixotic documentary about the justice sought by a Swedish film-maker after Dole, the fruit-tinning company, tried to ban his earlier documentary about pesticide-poisoned banana pickers in Nicaragua. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe relentlessness of corporate might is disturbing but no surprise; "Big Boys" is, however, an eye-opening look at the way the U.S. media fell lockstep behind Dole's claims. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectFar more dramatic than Dragon Tattoo since it involves a real Swede against real vicious corporate pigs. The truth, of course, is always more interesting than fiction. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinCorporate PR has seldom looked so sinister, or daft. |
