Capitalism: A Love Story

I am not an unqualified fan of Michael Moore, even though I more often agree than disagree with his politics.  I don't always like his methods. For example, on a speaking tour here, he gave out the unlisted number of our best known conservative radio jock, urging the audience to call him, which they did so much the jock had to change his number. No need for this. Left wing intolerance is as repugnant to me as right wing intolerance. I also don't like the way Moore sometimes stages his documentary scenes without owning up to it.

However, I saw Capitalism for the first time today and, despite some gimmicks toward the end, believe it's a well done and important film, the best work of Moore I've seen.
