      Pitena P Totally not what I waS expecting. Definitely worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Audience Member I'm sure the director/writer/producer had good intentions but the film fails in every aspect. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Black November has good intentions and a good message with the movie is way too preachy in the movie doesn’t make much of an impact. The movie is full of your usual clichés, one note characters, and stereotypes. The acting for the most part is decent and I know everybody meant well while making it but the whole movie has a very B-movie or made for TV feel to it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/21 Full Review Audience Member Excellent portrayal of the struggle of communities in the Niger Delta against the injustice of international oil companies and a corrupt government. Amata conveyed the complexity of emotions and humanity in the real-life scenario. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie about oil and politics and how human rights are violated all in the name of money Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It has the benefit of having a Very engaging story and its a fairly well made movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times There's little going on in the final product other than good intentions, as Jeta Amata always seems overreaching for the right buttons to push. Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Hollywood and Nollywood collaborate to underwhelming effect in Jeta Amata's impassioned but inert issue thriller. Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Amy Nicholson L.A. Weekly At once passionate and cynical, Amata skillfully lays out the ways that Nigeria is screwed. Rated: C+ Jan 8, 2015 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com It's difficult to look past the deadening effect of the clichéd storytelling. Rated: 0.5/5 Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Rich Cline Contactmusic.com Nigerian filmmaker Jeta Amata clearly feels passionate about the problems in his country, but despite the presence of Hollywood stars the movie is made in a style that will feel amateurish to Western audiences. Rated: 3/5 Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... raises some compelling true-life sociopolitical issues but lacks the subtlety or focus to become suitably provocative.
