This film really is Moore’s tour de force — a forceful, moving, and compelling call to action. A number of Michael Moore’s films have made history. This time he’s asking his audience to be the ones to do it. Read full review

Moore’s overarching points hit home with such force that sweating the details would be like picking fleas off a charging grizzly. Read full review

Empire Dan Jolin

An uneven but appropriately rousing attack on Trump, which occasionally loses its focus as it makes its bigger, scarier points about the United States’ slide into despotism. Read full review

It might not be his best filmmaking, but Fahrenheit 11/9 is fraught with a critical mindset that syncs with the zeitgeist. It’s a messy movie for messy times. Read full review

As one might expect, it’s not his most focused act of impassioned muckraking. Read full review

The most engaging passages in the scattershot Fahrenheit 11/9 address the water scandal in Flint. Read full review

John Anderson

Sep 20, 2018

Almost the entire movie is lifted from other sources, and then edited in a way that makes his enemies (do they know they’re his enemies?) look as foolish as possible. The punditry is trite. The snark is boring. Read full review

Moore has created a forceful, funny valentine to democracy. Not to Democrats, but democracy. The distinction is important. For supporters of Trump the natural inclination would be to dismiss the film and yes, there is footage taking him to task that would promote som tooth grinding but moreMoore has created a forceful, funny valentine to democracy. Not to Democrats, but democracy. The distinction is important. For supporters of Trump the natural inclination would be to dismiss the film and yes, there is footage taking him to task that would promote som tooth grinding but more important is a clear eyed look at how everybody without money and influence get played and shows how too often they are being played off one another. His exhortations for citizen involvement and the potential it brings for real change is stirring and too critical to be ignored.… Expand

A lot of the content is news we've witnessed, but Moore has organized it in an attempt to explore why the election went the way it did. There's also a large amount of time spent detailing the water crisis in Moore's hometown of Flint, as he tries to draw larger parallels to what's wrong with the nation as a whole. A few surprising revelations and some encouraging developments keep it interesting. Overall the doc rambles too much and stretches some issues to the point of tedium. I left the theatre feeling deflated and defeated about our country's future.… Expand

Hypocrite Hippopotamus is a radical bomb thrower with crackpot politics but also a gifted filmmaker who makes assured entertaining populist docs on important and emotionally charged subjects, which is why it's surprising this outing is so scattered and structurally flawed. His hometownHypocrite Hippopotamus is a radical bomb thrower with crackpot politics but also a gifted filmmaker who makes assured entertaining populist docs on important and emotionally charged subjects, which is why it's surprising this outing is so scattered and structurally flawed. His hometown Flint, the base that started his whole career, eats up way too much time and no matter how much it ties into his own artistic legacy or personally compelling he thinks it is it's off topic. His telling here of how Trump got into the presidential race is a completely different story from what venerable PBS documentary series "Frontline" reported, among others presumably, so what's the truth? Alternative facts? The FACT is any story, any complex truth, can have alternative facts because practically no story is ever told in complete totality and from all points of view, which sheds light on the fact this documentary and nearly all news reporting is highly editorial, meaning you get only what they want you to know from the actual whole story. A prime example in this thing is his dumb ignorant gloss over of the Electoral College, which if he had any true understanding of he wouldn't make his shallow foolish point and for that matter he would not be on the far left to begin with!

You have to give it to Michael Moore though, he's an equal opportunity offender and doesn't hold back in trashing both sides and leaving scorched earth in his personally large wake which will mostly offend in all directions (Funny, isn't that what he accuses Trump supporters of?) while still delivering more laughs than most silly Hollywood comedies.… Expand

If you enjoyed Michael Moore's other earlier works you still probably won't enjoy this mess. I imagine it was intended for audiences blinded by hatred for Donald Trump, but its overly long, disjointed, and somehow fails even at Moore's typical methods of misrepresentation, innuendo andIf you enjoyed Michael Moore's other earlier works you still probably won't enjoy this mess. I imagine it was intended for audiences blinded by hatred for Donald Trump, but its overly long, disjointed, and somehow fails even at Moore's typical methods of misrepresentation, innuendo and deceptive editing. It was as bad a movie as D'Souza's Death of a Nation, but the critics reflect hollywood's bias. Don't get fooled into wasting your money here, but at least there's a decent chance a mom & pop cinema would honor a refund when you walk out halfway through (even halfway was too long).… Expand
