Fahrenheit 11/9 (15)

Documentary

Documentary in which the filmmaker Michael Moore examines the state of US politics.


The critical consensus

Michael Moore's impassioned latest documentary examines the political landscape that gave rise to Trump.

****(*)Matthew Turner, The List, 15/10/2018

An uneven but appropriately rousing attack on Trump, which occasionally loses its focus as it makes its bigger, scarier points about the United States’ slide into despotism.

****(*)Dan Jolin, Empire Online, 16/10/2018

Same old schtick, but there’s a strong message of hope to offset the horror.

***(*)(*)Adam Woodward, Little White Lies, 16/10/2018

In his latest documentary, Moore’s bewildered fury at the president is powerfully evident, but he fails to deliver a knockout blow.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 17/10/2018

Fahrenheit 11/9 is a stirring, funny and angry piece of polemical filmmaking that hits the mark far more often than it misses.

****(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 18/10/2018

The documentarist uses his trademark style to make an alarmingly persuasive case that US democracy is under threat.

****(*)Wendy Ide, The Observer, 20/10/2018

Michael Moore’s exploration into how the US ended up with its current president has a frustratingly scattergun approach, although parallels between the director and his subject are amusing.

***(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 23/10/2018
