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. Sep 4, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

This is in many ways a frustrating film, its commitment admirable but its execution chaotic. Sep 4, 2018 | Full Review…

Despite charismatic subjects, the film seems so concerned with its handsome black-and-white aesthetics that it never feels angry enough. Sep 3, 2018 | Full Review…

Stunningly shot in black and white in a quietly mobile observational style, the film conjures a heartrending sense of community while depicting a heartbreaking lack of opportunity and equality. Dec 5, 2018 | Full Review…

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. Sep 21, 2018 | Full Review…

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. Sep 18, 2018 | Full Review…

Considering the anger captured onscreen, is now really the time for such softball humanism? Sep 15, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

This is where Minervini excels: he neither intervenes nor disrupts. His subjective documentation lies in respecting the fluxes and fissures of these lives, which are liable to change at a moment's notice. Sep 12, 2018 | Full Review…

Although sometimes it becomes monotonous and somewhat repetitive, Minervini uses these deficiencies to reinforce the discourse of ethnic minorities to counteract the effects of a powerful media and political apparatus. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 10, 2018 | Full Review…

It's character that matters here, fleeting moments rather than overarching drama. Perhaps this is hybrid filmmaking as termite art-and who cares how long it is, it probably should be longer. Sep 9, 2018 | Full Review…

Such quiet moments, captured in heartbreakingly vivid detail, make What You Gonna Do unassumingly powerful. Sep 9, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
