Economics is not dry or abstract in the hands of Michael Moore. He masterfully distills his thesis -- that capitalism is inherently evil -- into thought-provoking stories of how power and greed in the name of the "free market" damage ordinary people's lives.
A professional reviewer (AP) had issue with the fact that the film is "all over the place." I strongly disagree. Our economic system is vastly complex, yet Michael Moore manages to touch on it all -- from religion to Reaganomics, and tie it together with startling clarity.
I was riveted to the screen the whole time and felt compelled to cheer on more than one occasion. His best work yet.
