Premiere
With the global economic meltdown affecting just about everybody, the film is pertinent, hugely entertaining, and, above all, timely. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
At its best, Capitalism: A Love Story is a searing outcry against the excesses of a cutthroat time. At its worst, it's dorm-room Marxism. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a typical Moore oeuvre: funny, often over the top and of dubious documentation, but with strongly made points that leave viewers much to ponder and debate after they walk out of the theater. - 70
New York Daily News
Too bad its wide net ultimately results in diminishing returns. - 70
The New York Times
Like most of his movies, Capitalism is a tragedy disguised as a comedy; it’s also an entertainment. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Moore's scattershot is a lot more interesting than some filmmakers' focus, and many of those individual parts are classic. - 60
Variety
Whether Capitalism matches "Fahrenheit 9/11" or underperforms like "Sicko" will depend on how much workers of the world are ready to unite behind the message. - 60
