    It’s coolheaded and incisive, a thorough and informative study of corporations, their origins and their place in the modern world.

    The film will still prove a tonic to those holding left-of-center views.

    This is another unhelpful screed, uncontaminated by sense or perspective, that preaches loudly to the choir.

    A wonderful, compelling indictment of the most powerful institution of our times. For those that claim about partiality; it is supposed to be. The film makers clearly state they are looking to critique this institution; and even still they clearly present the arguments of those on the far-right and prominent corporate figures. Critical theorists in political philosophy always preach that, even when attempting to be, impartiality is impossible. Indeed, the guise of impartiality is as much a subordination to an illiberal and unfair status quo. Thus, what is left is to make an argument based on logic and evidence; reason, to make one's point.
