'How to Blow Up a Pipeline' is a magnificent adaptation of Andreas Malm's manifesto. Our TIFF22 review:
From a drowning Pakistan being battered by floods to a burning California being consumed by fire, the world as we know it is dying an agonizing death. The people least responsible for creating the crisis, the poor and disenfranchised, will be the first to bear the brunt of the brutality of a warming planet. This is not just a looming future threat, it is already here.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This all may sound rather bleak, but anything less would fall short of the reality of our present predicament as well as the source material on which it is based. To call it an adaptation of the manifesto of the same name by Andreas Malm, which itself is worth reading as a beast all its own, would be to understate its accomplishments. Inevitably, much of the analysis and insights the author provided must get sanded down.
There is Michael, whose intensity is brought to life by a fantastic Forrest Goodluck, the bomb expert. There is Theo, captured by the underrated Sasha Lane, and her partner Alisha, fully embodied by Jayme Lawson, as well as the less-disciplined though undeniably authentic romantic duo of Logan and Rowan . Rounding out the team is Shawn who brings along Dwayne after meeting him in the process of making a hollow documentary.
Goldhaber observes this with the patience necessary so that, even as the film is all about the ratcheting tension of the plan, we never lose sight of their humanity. The repeated way he will flash back when things go awry to trace how all the characters got there instills everything with a somber sensibility. There is no glory or thrill in what they are trying to do as all they have had to endure has made it a necessity.
