This a Michael Moore film, and what he does he does relatively well. I call it left wing agit-prop, although that may be a fairly meaningless set of adjectives. He skewers the banking crisis, the collapse of the productive sectors of the American economy and subsequent impoverishment of working people. He lays it at the feet of Reagan and the subsequent governments, although you could quibble about that. It's all done in greater depth elsewhere, such as Joseph Stiglitz's book on the GFC, but not in quite as an entertaining fashion. With the good, there is the bad, especially some of the doorstopping of people who are basically working stiffs. The ones he is trying to defend, at least that's what I thought. Either way, thumbs-up.
