Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

step2ice I watched this valuable piece of film many times. It isn't the usual type of documentary you see everyday. It mixes music (most electrical style) and short comments and speeches about the western consume nature and capitalism. It is somehow enjoyable to watch which makes the information easier to understand and remember. One peak is the satiric presentation of the "G8 World shop". You will see some video pieces of the worlds politicians remixed, edited and cut to a background comment. Very funny and very serious at the same time.Besides the documentary "The Corporation" from Michael Moore, it's the most accessible documentary regarding this Problem which affects us all. Do yourself a favor and watch it. 10/10

Mr__Underhill I'd like to offer a shiny review of this film, however this one seemed to me more eye candy than substance. There are many points were you'd expect some substantiation to the sound bites you hear from protagonists, bystanders, corporate leaders, or politicians. Instead you get taken off to more imagery or repetition of the same idea (Max Headroom style). You'd think a picture would be worth a thousand words, but in this case I don't think I learned anything remotely new, and the film isn't likely to win any converts.Perhaps the sound bite format is intentional. Who knows? A film is supposed to be an artist's venue for expression so why try to hamper your own message using this stifling technique. You have a whole film to say something so why waste it? In a very basic sense you might walk away with a general feeling of "consumerism bad...primitivism good" (or one of the two) but then again the proponent of this idea is made to look like a bit of a moron and often the counter arguments seem stronger than those that the movie title suggest. In short the arguments this film makes which support the title theme could be torn to shreds in a second in their current format.

stormstereo It's hard to find a more beautifully made documentary. The repeating scenes cut to the music makes the whole thing feel like a music video but it still delivers the message at the same time. I know Söderberg was also involved in "Lucky People Center International" and those who have seen that one will recognize the style here.You will find it's biased against capitalism, hence the name, right? Yet, you'll find Castro coming through as a very strange man, at least in my view. To me the footage feels unique, we get to see him as we almost never see him in news media. The whole film is "fresh", both footage and the craftsmanship.I'd recommend this for anyone who wants a feast for the eye as well as the brain. The time spent will not be a waste.Best/T

Zaerdna This is one of the most touching and truthful documentary I have ever seen. The film is about our world, the modern civilisation that eats more than needed.What really makes me like it is how the messege is presented. It could almost be a MTV video if I didn´t know better. Various sound-clips and pictures made together rythmicly to music.It´s not very much information that is physicly showed, its the pictures in symbios with music that is the real strength in this flick.I strongly recomend that you see it as fast as you can and start to think; do I really need all this?
