More Critic Reviews for Black Earth Rising Miniseries All Critics (31) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (6) With a fine cast led by John Goodman...and a series of cracking stories stretching from London and Paris to Rwanda and the Congo and back, it's immediately grabby. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review… Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic Black Earth Rising is actually about seeking the light. As Kate learns the buried truth about the past...she begins to escape its clutches, transforming herself from an innocent victimized by history into a wised-up woman who's trying to make it. Jan 30, 2019 | Full Review… John Powers NPR Top Critic Michaela Coel and John Goodman are riveting in this tale of a woman searching for answers about how she survived the Rwandan genocide. Jan 28, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic What's most striking about Black Earth Rising -- outside of the constant touching, the terrific performances, and the thoughtful filmmaking, anyway -- is that it's essentially a legal thriller mixed with a painful search for personal history. Jan 25, 2019 | Full Review… Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com Top Critic If you're looking for a multi-layered political drama and are ready for a good cry, then Black Earth Rising may be for you. But be warned, some of the material may be trigger inducing. Jan 22, 2019 | Full Review… M. Skylar Ezell Black Nerd Problems Top Critic While he rarely offers definitive answers to the philosophical questions he raises, Blick's narratives leave few loose ends. Here, states of the mind and heart are as important as states of the nation. Sep 12, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Complex, excellent British series about Rwanda is violent. Feb 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media As good as the actors are here, they deserved a less melodramatic and cliche script than they got. Luckily, star Michaela Cole has a nice chemistry with John Goodman and the pair save this from being just another offering on Netflix. Jan 30, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Emporium Good storytelling captures the wider world, and this series not only delivers suspense, but much to actually think about afterwards. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Black Earth Rising is grounded in one of the most viscerally horrifying events in human history. Yet with every misstep and unnecessary contortion, the show dulls the edge of its remarkably potent source material.
