Film: Capitalism: A Love Story
On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece "Roger & Me," Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans. But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene is far wider than Flint, Michigan.

"By returning to his roots, professional gadfly Michael Moore turns in one of his best films with 'Capitalism: A Love Story.'" – Leslie Felperin Variety
"It’s scathing, effective and hilarious." – Farah Nayeri Bloomberg News
"... the veteran tub-thumper has lost none of his power to whip up a response." – Xan Brooks Guardian
"I've got to tell you, on this particular issue, I'm with Michael Moore." – Jim Pinkerton, White House staff under both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, senior adviser to Mike Huckabee's 2008 presidential campaign FOX News
"Michael Moore's latest documentary is both moving and blackly comical, and his best since Roger and Me." – Donald Clark The Irish Times
