Moore has "dug up some astonishing dirt" (Brian D. Johnson, Macleans), stories told in the faces of the foreclosed and evicted, in the food stamps received by hungry airline pilots, and in the courage of fired factory workers who refuse to go quietly. But more than a cry of despair, Moore's film raises the possibility of hope. Capitalism: A Love Story is "The most American of films since the populist cinema of Frank Capra (It's A Wonderful Life)" (Dan Siegel, Huffington Post), "a movie that manages shrewdly, even brilliantly, to capitalize on the populist anger that has been sweeping the nation" (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal).
