By the end of "The Big Uneasy" the viewer is convinced that we weren't told the whole story back in 2005, and appalled by the retaliation faced by some who spoke out. July 7, 2011 | Rating: 3/4

While Shearer's affection for his part-time home is palpable, the film's dry, academic treatment of its subject does the city a profound disservice. May 19, 2011 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Whistle-blowing works best without gratuitous pop-doc debris, but there are only so many dry, fact-heavy testimonies from engineers you can take before a certain dullness uneasily settles in. May 18, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The citizens of New Orleans deserve a defense that is more fired up, angrier and more gripping than this somewhat flaccid documentary. November 9, 2019 | Rating: 2.9/5 | Full Review…

The film confirms that the real scandal behind Katrina is too deep, too knotty, and too technical to permeate our cultural understanding of the event and incite the rage it deserves. June 3, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A 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. May 20, 2011 | Full Review…

While at times a bit pedantic, Shearer's persuasive film nonetheless stands as an important correlative primary historical document. May 20, 2011 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
