Film Concerns

Critics believe that Moore's pessimistic attitude regarding U.S. policy may not bode well now that the country has a Democratic President-elect. Their other concern is that the financial crisis may change before the film is complete, no longer making the documentary pertinent to the times.Hollywood Reporter: Michael Moore to Tackle Economy (November 13, 2008)
Quote
"If Moore offers a prescription for how to improve things, he may indeed find an audience that at this moment is eager for change. But it's going to be hard for him. What this election shows is what's right with America, and sometimes what Michael Moore does is highlight what's wrong with America."
"The problem with the financial crisis is that it's changing so quickly. I'm not sure how relevant it is going to be in six months, and I'm not sure if people want to hear it; my sense is they already have a pretty good idea of a lot of the people who are to blame for it."—Craig Minassian, entertainment consultantPerezHilton.com: ...Moore Changes Direction...
