Mixed Reviews
- The most essential political film from an American director since Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11
- -Manohla Dargis of The New York Times
- None of the stories in the film are interesting (except one), the ultimate lack of connection between them all is surprising and worst of all, it all just felt like a school lesson to me, taught by a condescending know-it-all.
- -JoBlo's Berge Garabedian
