Complete lunacy that fails in every manner to comprehend the basic tenets of economics. A film that dares suggest that communal ownership as seen in Maoist China and The USSR is the solution to the problems society faces today and ignores the massive harms, famines and human rights abuses that communism entails. It also attempts to support a direct democracy in a system of communal ownership, complete idiocy. Simply put, just like any other Michael Moore film, this one should relegated squarely into the mental wastebin.

An absolute must-see for anyone who cares about educating themselves about everything that has gone wrong with America (and countries that follow a very similar model like Canada, etc.). If you're the type of person that thinks ignorance is bliss and just want to go on your merry way believing the corporations you buy all of your stuff from have nothing but the best intentions towards you and your environment this film is not for you. However, if you are a person who wants to know the truth about how the world really works so you possibly might be able to do something about injustices in it that need to be overcome then this film is for you.

Isolated as a narrative but powerful and educational in equal measure. Heavy-handed with the anti-capitalist message, the film is ironically exposed as a "how to succeed in business/marketing" and is repetitive at worst. Consider the words of Goodyear's CEO as insightful but the platform for change is anti-human and boundaries between positive and negative are never highlighted. Despite the many collaborations with learned figures there is little humanity on show and the subject matter is generalised. If learning is the mode of communication then this film has succeeded but it never delves deep enough to expose the truth instead opting to focus on entertainment. 10 for execution 6 for subjects = 8/10 (79/100)
