From USA Today:
Capitalism is impassioned, informative and entertaining, if sometimes repetitive. Moore has never pretended to be objective. Few documentarians are. The minute a camera is aimed at a subject, subjectivity sets in.
Moore may be the most overtly biased major filmmaker and therefore a figure some love to hate. His facts and assertions will continue to be debated with
Capitalism as they were with his past films. But his populist sensibility and lively filmmaking techniques are put to good use.
Capitalism is as entertaining as
Roger & Me, and its critique skewers both major political parties, calling into question the economic policies of
Bill Clinton as well as
Ronald Reagan.
This is quintessential Moore, with a clear-cut agenda: Capitalism has superseded democracy, encouraged corruption and greed, and failed our nation. Political bigwigs and wealthy executives may love it, but it's not working for the majority of Americans. His thesis may enrage, amuse or inspire, depending on your ideology and your wallet.
Moore makes his case with humor, humanity and outrageous scenarios intended to get people fired up.
His rallying cry is simple: The country needs to return to its democratic roots.
Opens nationwide today. See your
