Synopsis

An examination of the social costs of corporations pursuing profits at the expense of the public good, Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story comes home to the issue he’s been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans.

Our take

Profiteering from juvenile incarceration or the death of an employee? Nothing is off-limits for the corporate vultures targeted in this sweeping polemic from Michael Moore. Premiering shortly after the 2008 crisis, Capitalism charts the ruthless pursuit of short-term profit with accessible zeal.
