Fahrenheit 11/9

Hope all these Trump supporters choke to death on their dad’s weiner. The dad isn’t into it at all. I don’t need to be manipulated by Moore’s razzle dazzle to hate on human garbage.

Though I don't always agree with his politics, I always enjoy Michael Moore's movies. His hatred of Donald Trump is quite obvious here, but it's nice to see his disdain for Hilary Clinton and even the Obama administration as well. He really pulls no punches here and attacks both sides. I always thought that the US voting system should move to a 4 party system, separating the extremists on both ends. I guarantee you that one of the two center leaning parties would win every time.

It is not a documentary, it is a propaganda from progressives who control the media and then control the people. Russian mafia? Pedophilia? Marijuana? Popular Votes? Racial Crisis? You should be ashamed of yourself fat ass because let the children in political dirty games.

Moore remains a talented editor and supporter of causes he believes in. This doc is alright, but it wavers to things that had little or no connection to Trump and would have best been served as their own subjects.

The United States of What the Fuck are You Doing.

It's a typical Michael Moore doco, unashamedly leaning into a particular narrative. It's interesting and entertaining, though that may not be a good thing, as it depicts the recent state of The US. It also gets off track a couple of times and would have benefited from a little more focus.

This might be Moore's best work, if completely unintentionally. While the usual blathering idiots who dominate the media look at Trump as some kind of populist dictator, Moore, to my wild shock, actually sees that Trump isn't some one-off but the product of a broken system that the average person can see right through. Not that this point is clearly made because Moore can't help but be himself, but he gets it more right than 99% of political pundits post 2016 election cycle.

A scattershot but effective, pull no punches look at America during the Trump presidency. It powerfully frames Trump as a byproduct of the apathy and corruption that runs rampant.

It's all over the place but nonetheless an interesting watch of what's going on in contemporary America.

ridiculously biased, i can't take this seriously

A bit of a hodgepodge, but still inspiring.

Even though it is about as convoluted as Fahrenheit 9/11 was, the overall message Moore is trying to tell us about the Trump administration and how things have come to this is something we should all pay close attention to.

A little bit to unfocused and sometimes to much random craziness but Reallife Peter Griffin stands behind his causes and opinions like no other.

Seen 2x

Whether you agree with Michael Moore's politics (me) or not, I think you have to agree he's a good filmmaker. I thought this one was a little bit all over the place, but there are so many ways in which America is messed up, I guess it makes sense. Even though I knew a lot of it, or had seen a lot of the footage used, it made me angry all over again. It wasn't as good as Bowling for Columbine (2002) or Sicko (2007), but still worth watching.

Not Moore's best, it's an unfocused and meandering collection that doesn't have the singular focus of his earlier films. Still, it frames the current disaster-in-chief in a way that seems hopeful, instead of despairing.

Roger & Me was one of the tightest documentaries about the plight of the working class. Bowling for Columbine was hard hitting with perhaps a weak ending. Fahrenheit 9/11 was topical. I just didn't get any of those feelings from 11/9. Disjointed; it would have worked better as a miniseries. The low point was the Hitler comparison which made me tune out, but Moore did a decent job being self aware of that and trying to reconcile that claim. Fav scene: callbacks to previous films.

The movie hits home when a Nazi soldier separates a mother from her toddler.

Frustrating but ultimately worthy despatch from Moore has an ungainly, scattershot feel which occasionally robs it of resonance, especially during the surprisingly brief (and weakest) Trump segments which simply haphazardly regurgitate already familiar material. At its best detailing the horrific Flint water crisis and gun violence movements, however Moore's ultimately nihilistic and dogmatic approach means he offers little practical solutions to the crises enveloping his country.

It's important to consider how Moore manipulates things in order to make his points. Usually he is entertaining and treats documentaries more as an angry call to arms than an even look at a situation. I'm okay with that, but this feels like a mess. There are times he's so right on, I learned some things, but then this felt so unconnected a lot of the time... or if it is, it's a very loose connection. I didn't like this as much as most of his other movies I've seen.

An equally depressive and entertaining mess of a "documentary".

I laughed. I held back tears. I felt angry. I felt despair. I felt hope. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that is a worthy sequel of sorts to 9/11. It was a bit unfocused (at times you could feel Moore unwilling to edit anything out), but always riveting.

Not a good movie but I see it being a meaningful document about the time we live in. If America survives this, we can look at Fahrenheit 11/9 and it's messiness, just as confused as the time it tries to make sense of. And fails.

Moore takes Trump's awfulness as read and actually doesn't spend much time exploring his presidency or the election (which perhaps would have been too obvious of a choice), focusing moreso on some tangential topics: the Flint water crisis, the Parkland kids, the DNC's rejection of Bernie Sanders and a general sense of voting apathy that helped depress the turnout in 2016. In short this is certainly a Michael Moore film: convincingly angry yet frustratingly scattershot in equal measure.
