Reviews for Capitalism: A Love Story
61 - 80 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
It's not ... that he's entirely opposed to capitalism; what he's really going after is the corporatism that has made profit a goal beyond all ethical considerations.

This is heartening, rousing stuff. But Moore has shilly-shallied and wandered for too long for it to have maximal impact.

Parental Content Review
10/01/09
an utterly frustrating work that contains a few genuinely affecting moments that wind up getting lost amidst too much tired and fairly patronizing junk.
10/01/09
Considering the vast spread of the subject matter of Capitalism: A Love Story, that the film works as well as it does is an accomplishment.
10/01/09
As a child, my mother taught me that there was always a kernel of truth in every bit of criticism; always some veracity in every condemnation, no matter how outlandish the claim or the claimant.
10/01/09
With Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore delivers his liveliest, most radical film to date.
10/01/09
Anyone up on current events and at least passingly familiar with the history of the U.S. will learn few new insights. What they will learn is that they have seen this all before, and done better, by a director who seems to be going through the paces.
10/01/09
Capitalism: A Love Story is a Michael Moore movie that Fox News viewers might like.
10/01/09
The script gradually becomes an ambiguous mixture of hope and desperation; at times it feels almost bipartisan in its politics.
10/01/09
In passages, the movie is eloquent. In sum, it is scattershot. Organization is not Moore's strongest suit; indignation is.
10/01/09
Even if you don't agree with his assertions regarding economic theory and social politics, it still holds some interest.
10/01/09
Isn’t every Michael Moore film ultimately about capitalism? This one just has a more facetious title.
10/01/09
You might say Moore has been making this movie his entire career. He attempts to expose corrupt bottom line-minded corporations that are in league with Capitol Hill as the cause of America's ills. He's been doing just that since the days of Roger & Me
10/01/09
For all his lack of objectivity and occasional fact-twisting, Moore takes on dauntingly complex subjects and turns them into hugely entertaining, provocative pictures.
10/01/09
What [Moore] offers isn't an argument as much as a polemic. But as in the past, he proves a skilled polemicist,...[and] looked at dispassionately, it's fun.
10/01/09
The film's title is never explained. What does Moore mean? Maybe it's that capitalism means never having to say you're sorry.
10/01/09
Top CriticHow dare they! It gets you worked up! But exactly what point is Moore making? What should we be angry about?
09/30/09
The lack of a factual backbone will be catnip for conservatives who attack everything that Moore does, regardless of the validity of his arguments.
