- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceInsult upon injury didn't stop the central figure of Mary Liz Thomson's tough and intriguingly well-told account of the fight between environmentalists and corporate raiders (perhaps abetted, we learn, by the government) from taking the battle to her deathbed.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe only film ever to be released with the promise of a reward--$50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the bomber--Who Bombed Judi Bari? is an engrossing account of the case.

- 60New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere is no satisfactory answer to the titular question posed by this no-frills environmental documentary. But first-time feature director Mary Liz Thomson does answer another one at least as important, by showing us who Judi Bari was.
- Though its early sections feel repetitive and self-congratulatory, the documentary's tension builds in the way director Mary Liz Thomson uses archival material, much of it from TV news.
- 50The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerRelies too much on rehash and preaching to the choir to kindle a broad-based outrage, but it does make you wonder what really happened on May 24, 1990.
