A subject that affects each of us on a daily basis, if you see only one documentary this year, make it Inequality For All.

| Jan 7, 2020

Engaging economics docu encourages equality, activism.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 30, 2015

A levelheaded, easily understandable primer on the aspects and causes of the problem. However, it does not do much to distinguish itself from similar documentaries.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2014

Former Clinton Cabinet member Robert Reich makes his case for a kindler, gentler capitalism.

Documentaries about the economy being what they are, you might not expect much from Inequality For All, but as directed by Jacob Kornbluth, it is the Indianapolis 500 of wealth analyses.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 12, 2013

America is a country without any "self-admitted proletarians," where even the poorest see themselves as "temporarily embarrassed" millionaires.

| Original Score: 87/100 | Dec 5, 2013

Reich is a natural teacher of complex concepts: The film doesn't feel like homework.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 1, 2013

Inequality for All is intelligent, persuasive and accessible, a gentle but urgent clarion call to action.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 31, 2013

Topical documentaries mostly appeal to the converted and are ignored by those who disagree. And "Inequality" probably will be no exception.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 24, 2013

Lacks the alarmist self-importance of 'An Inconvenient Truth,' even if the subject it investigates seems as dangerous as climate change to the country's health, at least in the short run.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 23, 2013

This is a curious case of liking the messenger, loving the message and yet still feeling as if you're being too heavily sold, even if you want to buy into the product.

| Original Score: B | Oct 7, 2013

The trouble with Inequality is that it's a book pretending to be a movie. Like far too many recent documentaries, there is nothing cinematic and almost nothing visual about it.

[Robert Reich] headlines this documentary in which he explains his views about the United States' current economic woes. It's something he manages to do engagingly and with great clarity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2013

Overall, this film is enlightening, entertaining and seriously alarming.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 4, 2013

This documentary would be a rousing David and Goliath story even if its hero weren't the diminutive Robert B. Reich.

| Original Score: A | Oct 3, 2013

The film makes no secret of its liberal political leanings and activist goals, which means it likely will only preach to the converted.

| Sep 30, 2013

An advocacy doc constructed to make a clear political point first and function as a film a distant second.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 30, 2013

That a documentary about economics could be so personally emotional and affecting is remarkable. And to learn from Reich in this film, as his students at Berkeley do, is a treat and a privilege.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 27, 2013

It all ends with Reich's students giving him a standing ovation. I felt like jumping out of a window.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 27, 2013

Robert Reich, a secretary of labor under President Clinton, leads us through a sharp-eyed essay-meditation on the rising trend of income inequality.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 27, 2013
