Following up on 'Bowling for Columbine', film-maker Michael Moore provides deep and though-provoking insights on the American security system, the level of paranoia, fear, uncertainty, false values and patriotism, which all combined together to set a stage for George W. Bush to launch a war on Iraq instead of focusing on getting the real culprit(s) behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This documentary also focuses on how some Saudis were safely and secretly flown out of America while planes were ostensibly grounded after the attacks. Archived film footage, candid interviews with politicians, and an overall waste of public funds for a war that was initiated on false pretension to wit: a weapon of mass distraction - to take the focus away from the real enemy and get Americans glued to their TV sets to watch innocent Iraqis and Afghans getting killed. And a war that would eventually alienate the U.S.A. and its citizens from almost every country on Earth.

| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittMoore makes no pretense of being "fair and balanced." He makes a passionate case for his own perspective, and invites us to agree with him or not. "I fulminate, you decide" could be his motto. |

| About.comJurgen FauthTo dismiss Fahrenheit 9/11 as "Anti-American propaganda" is doing the movie, the issues, the troops, and the country a grave disservice. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasethis is a guy who is the modern master of political theater. He can drive home a point with such deadly precision, that the opposition is left blindsided and speechless. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereEven those agreeing with Moore's political point of view must acknowledge that this is neither illuminating nor revelatory documentation, but skillfully wrought propaganda. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[Moore] merely stops after showing these connections, leaving the viewer to finish the job in his or her imagination. That's where the film gets most of its power. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffMoore's greatest contribution to the national debate is that he pulls back the veil on the bloodshed of a war that has been sanitized for the American public's consumption. |
| NetflixJames RocchiMichael Moore's latest volley at the powers that be is his strongest film to date, despite familiar, infuriating flaws. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealMoore uses the rhythm of a stand-up comedian and the pop-culture awareness of an MTV editor, mixing corny stock 1950s images with poignant photography and TV news footage. |
