The Corporation Reviews

Despite its denunciations of corporate malfeasance, Achbar, Abbott and Bakan's work is curiously devoid of urgency. There is no crisis of the system.

| Feb 15, 2021

This film should make you angry and a little more willing to resist corporate urges.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 5, 2020

Building its indictment carefully, with well-chosen interviews...The Corporation may leave you in a rage.

| Mar 16, 2020

This smart, informative and lively polemic makes a strong case for viewing the corporation--which enjoys the legal status of an individual--as a psychopath run amok.

Eye-opening docu on corporate power is timely, provocative.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 21, 2015

The 150-year old legal construct of the corporation, as a "person," is dissected for all to see how its lack of accountability has enabled the faulty model to become a ruling institution, acting beyond the reach of any government.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

As a clever joke, the filmmakers run down a list of the traits of a psychopath and find a corporate action to match each one. Diagnosis: psychopath. It's cute, but it's a logical fallacy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 3, 2008

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 7, 2007

An impressive array of interviewees, from Michael Moore to Milton Friedman, give their take on modern capitalism.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 21, 2007

The undercurrent of this exhaustive critique is really all about good and evil, and in what ways often sordid human history is determined, not as a product of malice, but by the most typical people who could care less.

One of those necessary films that we have to see for our own health.

| Original Score: B | Apr 12, 2005

The Corporation is overlong, yes, and opinionated, true. But it's also fine journalism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2005

In our current polarized cultural climate, it seems there are fewer and fewer people for whom The Corporation is a wake up call.

[A]ngry, bitter, but frequently funny, funky, and mesmerizing in-your-face documentary... [A] triumphantly muckracking film...

Full Review | Jan 12, 2005

Abrangente, jornalisticamente impecável, inteligente, complexo e socialmente responsável - mas também repetitivo e mais longo do que o ideal.
