On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. It killed 11 workers and caused the worst oil spill in American history. The explosion still haunts the lives of those most intimately affected, though the story has long ago faded from the front page. At once a fascinating corporate thriller, a heartbreaking human drama and a peek inside the walls of the secretive oil industry, "The Great Invisible" is the first documentary feature to go beyond the media coverage to examine the crisis in depth through the eyes of oil executives, survivors and Gulf Coast residents who experienced it first-hand and then were left to pick up the pieces while the world moved on.
Leave your thoughts about The Great Invisible.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)James AdamsThe Great Invisible is a dense, disturbing look at the effects (personal, political, economic, ecological, macro, micro) of the disaster. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA powerful documentary that reminds those of us who've moved on to other worries that this one is far from finished -- and that a government that proclaimed outrage during the summer of 2010 has seemingly done little to prevent or prepare for another such catastrophe. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSober, often moving documentary [that] performs a service by reminding us of...the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster of 2010 and its continuing impact. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThe Great Invisible is a stirring, sad, and well-made account of a catastrophe that will be haunting us for decades, whether we believe it or not. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyMost of all, it's a sobering look at a part of coastal America that will never be the same again. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonSome of its quieter moments are both infuriating and powerful. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA hard-hitting and illuminating documentary about one of the largest man-made environmental disaster in history. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe Great Invisible is strongest when it focuses on the micro rather than the macro. How the spill impacted individuals in the region is the real story of The Great Invisible. |
| Slant MagazineNick PriggeIt effectively demonstrates how the systemic cause of the Deepwater Horizon explosion was tied as much to society's staggering dependence on fossil fuels as to the oil industry's greed. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirAs Margaret Brown’s quietly devastating documentary The Great Invisible makes clear, the oil companies and the resource-guzzling, planet-poisoning economy they drive are too big to fail, and our entire consumerist culture of ever-cheaper goods and 24/7 convenience is bigger still. |
