“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 |
