The LATOC Forum: Review  and Discussion of "Oil Crash: A Crude Awakening"

The BBC: "Oil Crash, Another Inconvenient Truth"

The Austin Chronicle: "Running on Empty: The Oil Crash"

"If you're not worried about peak oil, you will be after watching Oil Crash,
Basil Gelpke and Ray McCormack's meticulously researched look at the
world's dwindling petroleum supply."

Eye for Film: A Crude Awakening

. . .in 2005, Stephen Gaghan made Syriana, a tense, well-researched,
politically charged drama about the oil industry - which made plenty of
sense to those steeped in world politics and economics, without
outwardly offending anybody. Now in 2006 two directors in Switzerland
make A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash, a painstaking documentary
about the frighteningly central role of oil in our lives.

Salon.com: Beyond the Multiplex

Boy, are we in trouble. As I said above, the best movie I saw at SXSW
this year was "Oil Crash," a terrific work of investigative journalism-as
film that will scare the living crap out of you. Sure, you've read a little
about the "peak oil" hypothesis, you disapprove in some theoretical way
of the planet's massive (and rapidly worsening) fossil-fuel addiction,
you're in favor of alternative energy sources and all that. Well, Basil
Gelpke and Ray McCormack's film paints a vastly grimmer picture than
that, and here's the thing. Their sources are not eco-freaks from
Vermont or Berkeley in Peruvian clothing, but scientists, financial insiders
and retired oil executives, many of them bedrock conservatives. Their
message: The era of oil is nearly at an end, and the social and economic
consequences are barely imaginable.

The Oil Drum: Peak Oil at the Movies

A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash offered those new to peak oil an
informative and engaging introduction to the topic. At the same time, the
movie remained poignant to, and well-accepted by, those informed on
the topic. A blend of interviews and relevant cinematic clips provided the
information content of the movie, with cartoon and 1950s-style American
public information video interjections creating entertaining quips, easing
its heavy message.
