Won’t add much to the debased discourse of this miserable season. Read full review

Michael Moore in TrumpLand earns points for ultra-timeliness and its admirable attempt to raise the level of discourse in this deeply polarizing election. Read full review

TrumpLand is a valuable film for the open-minded, undecided voter, or those who can’t seem to reconcile their seeming dislike for Clinton with a vote for her; an extended rant on likability in politics is especially effective. Read full review

Moore doesn’t want to tear Trump down so much as he wants to build Clinton up, and however much of a dingus he may be (some of his jokes really don’t work), he is sincere in his optimism and empathy. That’s something that you just can’t fake. Read full review

Moore’s premeditated attempts to wring some laughs out of this category 5 shitstorm are so half-assed that you wish he hadn’t bothered.... It’s as though he realized that the film could have been just as successful as a podcast, and compensated for that fact by shoehorning in some needless visual razzmatazz. Read full review

From his limp, liberal feminist pulpit (from which he also spews sexist jokes), Moore makes a condescending case for why Clinton isn’t only the least-bad choice, but an actually good choice. His thesis? Basically: she’s the pantsuit Beyoncé! Read full review

Hope and pray she is our next President and Trump is in the dumpster where he belongs. Moore has done a magnificent job on this presentation.… Expand

An avowed non-Clinton voter, he presents an impassioned argument in a theatre in Ohio that examines the realities of what is at stake for the nation, as well as critiquing Clinton's life in the public eye. Whilst not a polished or subtle film (some would say his films never are) this is an important, and heartfelt attempt to connect with those voters whose voices may well plunge the country into the abyss. Worth watching, especially considering its very short run time. 8.01/10… Expand

This was bad. It started out as a zero and got a little better. He threw this together to stop Trump. I usually think his work is very interesting, but this was weak.

Although it started well, trying to keep the middle line somehow - biased evidently on Clinton's side - after 1 hour, he started to spout the worst Communist propaganda seen in my life. He made comparison between USA/Estonia(!) health care system, Hillary Clinton became ALMOST equal to Pope Francis, in his feminist-bolshevik vision ALL American women were persecuted, battered or pinched by the buttocks on the street, forced to change their names after marriage against their will etc. According to his Bolshevik propaganda, it seems like all American women were never been loved in those times ('50s baby boom, don't you belong to that generation, Michael???), they never had their hands kissed by a man, men were never stand up when women entered into a room or had their place offered to sit on a chair etc. After I saw this politruk movie, I wondered if his grand-grandmother, grandmother or his mother WERE that bothered - as Hillary was, according to his Bolsheviks spurts - when they changed their names after marriage. Anyway, this Bolshevik did not make his point of view very clear if Hillary is still that bothered by her name - Clinton - nowadays, after she had (and probably will have) an astonishing career as a politician. Golden Raspberry Cum Laudae for you Michael.… Expand

I remember when Michael Moore's movies were involved, edited well and he went around doing leg work. Bowling for Columbine is one of my favourite documentaries of all time. This movie is one of the laziest things I've ever watched. Is this stand up comedy or a movie?

He's just walking onI remember when Michael Moore's movies were involved, edited well and he went around doing leg work. Bowling for Columbine is one of my favourite documentaries of all time. This movie is one of the laziest things I've ever watched. Is this stand up comedy or a movie?

He's just walking on the stage the whole time giving his opinion. He isn't asking other people questions, or giving interviews. He isn't going to these places and showing what they're going through. He's just on stage, talking and ranting. This movie's so boring I doubt I'll finish watching it. I'm half way through and had to take a few pause breaks. This is one of only three movies I couldn't finish watching in my life. What a disappointment.

This isn't the brilliant director who's movies I fell in love with a few years ago. This is a man who drank too much political poison and lost touch with his audience/the average working American. Don't buy this movie. Wait for it to be one of those movies played on t.v. at the dead times or for it to be on Crackle. What a waste of time.… Expand
