Critic Reviews

• Neil Genzlinger, New York Times

  An assortment of reasoned voices - Bob Schieffer, Alan Simpson and others - delineate problems that are already well known.

• Benjamin Mercer, Village Voice

  Malone reveals himself to have a stunningly low opinion of his audience's powers of [lie] detection.

• Prairie Miller, WBAI Radio

  Though even-handed about Washington DC dysfunction and corruption by both parties in our essentially financial one party system, the film ponders naive solutions that will likely leave the One Percent of this country's economic dictatorship snickering.

• Mark R. Leeper, Mark Leeper's Reviews

  This film is a diagnosis of the problem without much in the way of a cure, though it does propose some solutions and tries to be optimistic about them.

• Maryann Koopman Kelly, Paste Magazine

  This is a doc one can chew on for days after, recommending to friends, asking people about and wanting to watch again.

• Calum Marsh, Slant Magazine

  To presume that even an explicitly neutral political position lacks its own subjective ideological bias is nothing more than a delusion, and not a particularly useful one.

• Chris Barsanti, Film Journal International

  It's a scrappy but thoughtful essay of a film, the sort of thing that would make for an excellent cover feature in a major newsweekly.
