“A documentary bombshell in the face of a man many respect, and many loathe.”

- Chris Garcia, Austin American-Statesman

 

“The film, has got people talking about the place documentaries have within larger political movements. What more could a documentary maker ask for?”

-Guy Dixon, Globe & Mail

 

“It’s an engrossing, and convincing, indictment of Moore’s shady, manipulative tactics as a documentarian. And it shows him to be a thin-skinned, selfish-minded human being, with a dark history of screwing his friends on the left.”  

-Gerald Peary, Boston Phoenix

 

“Fueled by neither political agenda nor axes to grind, they present the fairest overview of Moore’s methodology and filmmaking practices to date.” 

-Margorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle

 

“An intelligent, provocative and, arguably, even necessary examination of the phenomenon of Michael Moore -- the man, his movies and his methods -- "Manufacturing Dissent" is not an assault by right-wing ideologues but a dissection by two self-described "progressive liberals," and has all the more impact for it.”

-Joe Leydon, Variety
