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

A barbed study of the American economy puts capitalism in the dock but somehow fails to convict. Go to Full Review

The thesis that rapacious capitalism has horrific social consequences is credible and well illustrated, if hardly eye-opening to European viewers. Go to Full Review

It is the human stories Moore covers which provide the most engrossing and emotional scenes within the documentary. Go to Full Review
David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Feb 13, 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. Go to Full Review

Abraham R Sep 6, 2018 Puntaje Original: 6.5 Una cachetada al imperialismo económico surgida en EE.UU.
Jun 18, 2018 As usual, Michael Moore mixes up some incredibly interesting factual information with absurd political ideas. It's worth watching for the ties between Goldman Sachs and the US Government. Unfortunately he ruins his expose with his personal politics. See more

Hagrid G Apr 16, 2018 This movie makes me very angry. And I think that's what it was supposed to do.
