Michael Moore’s latest feels like my Facebook feed with friends ranting about politics and POTUS. A lot of the content is news we’ve witnessed, but Moore has organized it in an attempt to explore why the election went the way it did. There’s also a large amount of time spent detailing the water crisis in Moore’s hometown of Flint, as he tries to draw larger parallels to what’s wrong with the nation as a whole. A few surprising revelations and some encouraging developments keep it interesting. Overall the doc rambles too much and stretches some issues to the point of tedium. I left the theatre feeling deflated and defeated about our country’s future.
