The United States of America is notorious for its astronomical number of people killed by firearms for a developed nation without a civil war. With his signature sense of angry humor, activist filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to explore the roots of this bloodshed. In doing so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy availability of guns, violent national history, violent entertainment and even poverty are inadequate to explain this violence when other cultures share those same factors without the equivalent carnage. In order to arrive at a possible explanation, Michael Moore takes on a deeper examination of America's culture of fear, bigotry and violence in a nation with widespread gun ownership. Furthermore, he seeks to investigate and confront the powerful elite political and corporate interests fanning this culture for their own unscrupulous gain.
Leave your thoughts about Bowling for Columbine.
| NewsweekDavid AnsenIt's both powerful and infuriating, brilliant and facile, hilarious and horrific, witty and demagogic. It's a great movie to argue about. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikAn important film, not only because of what it's about but also because of what it represents. Films like this strengthen our opinions and give us a feeling of democracy and freedom of speech at work. |
| Hollywood.comLeigh JohnsonThis film is bitingly brilliant -- as only Michael Moore can be. |
| The Film YapNick RogersMichael Moore clearly and convincingly expresses his rage at the way fear, violence and the ignorance they both breed are whittling away this country's soul. |
| Global Rhythm MagazineKam WilliamsWhy do Americans seem so inclined to slaughter one another? Once again, Michael Moore has once again waded into some rather murky waters to weigh in on a very thorny subject. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesFor all its gallows humor and choked laughter of disbelief, it feels rather soul-sick and bewildered. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonMoore provides a rather rambling discourse of causality, which includes racism, white flight and Africanized bees. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonMoore's best movie, and one of the most blisteringly effective polemics and documentaries ever. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJonathan CurielDocumentary reaches an exalted level of filmmaking. It explains the very fabric of American society. |
| NUVO NewsweeklyEdward Johnson-OttPowerful, disturbing, funny, thought provoking, moving and infuriating. |
