Bring Your Own Brigade Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An important, science-filled, examination of two California megafires and what we can learn from them about forest management.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
This film is often captivating and enthralling... But I don't know what I'm supposed to take from all this.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A detailed piece of work, a surprising angle on a terrifying new reality about living in certain parts of the world, and an inquiry as to whether or not we're going to do anything about it.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Bring Your Own Brigade tries to uncover the root causes [of increased wildfires], making a series of convincing and damning arguments along the way.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
More than willing to force you into these nightmare scenarios, burning down the audience's emotional defenses to convey the gravitas and immediacy of these ongoing, escalating disasters.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Human beings have a disastrous habit of ignoring our past, but Lucy Walker wants us to know that there's no ignoring the fires already destroying our future.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Mixing in citizens' harrowing cellphone footage and heartbreaking emergency call recordings, Walker's teams immerse us in the flaming terror as few features have before.
Slant Magazine
Mark Jenkins
Lucy Walker's absorbing study of California's 2018 wildfires consistently goes in illuminating and surprising directions.
Variety
Lisa Kennedy
Lucy Walker's powerful documentary raises bedeviling questions with fresh compassion and refreshing humility.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
Even with what authority and gravitas her British accent may lend, it's tough to distinguish her film from a YouTube conspiracy video.
The Film Stage
John Fink
A civics lesson that never loses sight of the human cost, Bring Your Own Brigade is sprawling and perhaps Walker's most ambitious undertaking to date.
POV Magazine
Jason Gorber
The resultant work is at once vital and engaging while too often veering into the maudlin and repetitive.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
The larger ideas resonate deeper than its flaws.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Passionate, personal and profoundly moving.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
offers much more in the way of context and background information to both enlighten and terrify its audience.
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
Walker offers little in the way of hope that Californians will ever accept anything less than the fiction of complete dominance over the land and the forces of nature, despite repeated catastrophes. This film is required viewing.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
Lacking the concision to bring home its argument, "Bring Your Own Brigade" isn't going to flip the script on what is a dyed-in-the-wool systemic mess.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
It's a human story at its core and the impact on residents is huge, but Walker is equally concerned with the bigger picture.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Radiates intelligence around the large systemic issues involved without feeling condescending or overwhelming.

I always appreciate a documentary where the director is open to being surprised. Lucy Walker does this in her film
