Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A solid, well-done and seemingly balanced look at Moore's work, his celebrity, his methods and the ethical problems in his reporting.

fresh:
There's little to disagree with in the thumbnail portrait of Moore that emerges from this entertaining doc.

fresh:
Some of the accusations in this documentary by a pair of Canadian filmmakers who initially set out to make a positive portrait, will make your eyes water.

rotten:
Too bad co-writers/co-directors Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine don't investigate -- and ingratiate -- the way their target does in his own films.

rotten:
Useful but limited muckraking.
