Unfortunately, these nuggets come with the realisation that, in the hands of a better filmmaker, such stories would have made a much more inspiring, and compelling, piece...

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2024

It is the human stories Moore covers which provide the most engrossing and emotional scenes within the documentary.

| Jul 21, 2021

To the extent that Moore believes the ahistorical, eclectic views he espouses in Capitalism: A Love Story, he is deluding himself. To the extent that he attempts to sell them to a broad audience, he is deluding others.

| Feb 13, 2021

Moore invokes his trademark brand of biting humor, creative editing, and a little grandstanding pizzazz.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Capitalism: A Love Story isn't really bad film, just a disappointing one.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

[Moore] tends to overplay the usual scenario of rich and powerful versus poor, miserably exploited in this over-long, meandering, often poorly organized film.

| Jan 23, 2020

Capitalism provides a sobering solution to the system that has disenfranchised so many by making so few filthy rich.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 11, 2019

An inspiring message of hope that demands to be noticed and heard, by liberals, conservatives and those who have never given Moore a second thought.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Naturally, Moore also uses the film to promote himself and his view on the world. It's his usual shtick, and occasionally it's too much, but there is no hiding from the fact that it's a fun ride.

| Nov 1, 2018

Capitalism: A Love Story is a fantastic slap-upside-the-head film, just what we need right now.

| Oct 30, 2018

Inevitably, this is tricked out with Moore's all-too-familiar stunts... all of them subject to the (capitalist?) law of diminishing returns.

| Jul 10, 2018

The value of "Capitalism, A Love Story" is not in the moviemaking, it's in the message, and the release that it gives to those struggling right now.

| Apr 10, 2018

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

A lot of the old Moore is still obvious in Capitalism, his genuine belief in everyone pulling together his feel for a good public stunt but he's lost a little something. The social zeal of his best work has been replaced with a hint of fanaticism.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 10, 2011

Docu on corporate misdeeds names names, makes mistakes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2010

As with all of Moore's films, this is really about the fall of The American Dream, with Moore acting as our tour guide into the rotten core of his beloved country. And once again, his heart is in the right place. If only he could keep his ego out of it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2010

This isn't just about pointing fingers at those who have gotten us into this mess, but about mobilizing working people to stop waiting for someone else to fix it, to stop sitting idly by while their wages, pensions, health care, and homes are stolen.

| Original Score: 8.3/10 | Jul 3, 2010

[Michael Moore] is cheeky, he's outrageous and he can get awfully full of himself... but he does have a way of getting your blood up...

| Mar 25, 2010

The constant quotations from the Founding Fathers suggest his real concern is a somewhat nebulous betrayal of the American Dream.

| Mar 15, 2010

Moore continues his career as provocateur with this often eloquent, occasionally muddled, bill of particulars which indicts Wall Street's ethos of greed. As with most of Moore's documentaries, the film is strongest when he's behind the camera, rather than
