TIFF 2009 Day 4: Michael Moore’s Capitalism

Date:

Capitalism: A Love Story is good for a chuckle – there are ha-ha moments, not enough a-ha moments. Fans of the provocateur, agent of change and documentarian-comedian (I include myself a part of this group) might find that their isn’t much of an argument here. Disorganized and not hard-hitting enough, this felt like a dumbed down presentation of the facts. Would have personally loved to see Michael Moore not stop at the Bush saga, but give the Obama administration a tap on the chin. Full review coming soon.
