Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story returns to the issue he’s been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Michigan. From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take filmgoers into uncharted territory. With both humor and outrage, Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal… and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

I consider Moore's film to primarily be a political pamphlet with everything that pertains to this genre in both a positive and negative sense. It is absolutely not fair, balanced, or reconciling. It aims to influence public opinion in the United States and it is primarily intended for this market. Without a more intimate knowledge of the social context in which it was created, the viewer cannot fully understand it. The film was made, for example, as a counterbalance to the news coverage of the influential television station FOX TV or the conservative American religious right, which owns a number of radios and television stations. Moore focuses on influencing numerous uneducated American voters, who have a world view on the level of Homer Simpson, and who are easily manipulated, and their votes have repeatedly helped the American Republicans win elections. From a film perspective, the film is one of the weaker ones that Moore has made so far, although some satirical jabs and jokes can be enjoyed by Central Europeans. Overall impression: 55%.

Michael Moore is biased, there's no doubt about that. However, on the other hand, he is someone who tries to show us that things are wrong in the world and tries to demonstrate to us exactly what isn't working. Plus, he's funny and he's very caustic about it. For me, his documentaries are just fantastic, and this one also proves it to me. His thoughts are quite consistent with mine.
