Leave your thoughts about The Big Uneasy.
| Dallas Morning NewsJoy TippingPrevious documentaries about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans have gone for the heart. For The Big Uneasy, though, writer-director-producer-narrator Harry Shearer takes aim at the brain. |
| Indie Movies OnlineKimberly GadetteRather than making us feel 'uneasy,' this film should flood us with rage. What Shearer's worthy film cries out for ... is the bite from the filmmaker/satirist himself. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliThe Big Uneasy, a damning new look at the onset and effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, is agitating by design. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceBehaves like a straight-ahead investigative news piece. Its target is the US Army Corps of Engineers. |
| OregonianShawn LevyAt once breezy and substantial, but it could have been more powerful if it were, paradoxically, sharper and blunter. |
| L.A. WeeklyDavid CotnerShearer details his staunch efforts to understand what happened to the city he loves, aided by the acumen and brilliance of engineers, observers and experts, all of whom paint a portrait of what's really happening in the city. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinSo sleepy and understated that when John Goodman shows up to yell his way through an angrily sarcastic segment called "Ask A New Orleanian," it's incredibly jarring. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceA comedian's well-meaning but muddled documentary about the Army Corps of Engineers' pre-Katrina failings in New Orleans is a narrative mess of 20/20 hindsight. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonWell-intended and informative, but also unfocused, unwieldy and a little smug, picture pales in comparison to the really first-rate films on the subject ("When the Levees Broke," "Trouble the Water"). |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottWhat it lacks in style, however, it more than makes up for in substance, as Shearer -- as smart as he is funny -- has assembled a vital and admirably accessible post-mortem on Hurricane Katrina. |
