Knows exactly where to look and what to ask, but never sticks around long enough to learn anything. What You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire? is hardly a disappointment, but it does, in places, feel like a missed opportunity.
This is in many ways a frustrating film, its commitment admirable but its execution chaotic.
Despite charismatic subjects, the film seems so concerned with its handsome black-and-white aesthetics that it never feels angry enough.
It's a film that's supposed to be about anger, but anger, though visible throughout, is couched in something more subtle, more unclassifiable, and thus more disturbing.
A reminder that history's sprawling canvas is populated by lives that are desperately struggling to live and make the world around them better for those who come after.
Considering the anger captured onscreen, is now really the time for such softball humanism?
