Movie Reviews

NYC Movie Guru - 8/10 by Avi OfferPersuasive and frightening. It's much more illuminating and thorough than Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story.
Laramie Movie Scope - 6/10 by Robert RotenServes as a primer, and as a wake up call for those unfamiliar with the Citizen's United decision, gerrymandering, vote suppression, ALEC, the Koch Brothers, and the many other ways money corrupts politics.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Martin TsaiThe documentary Pay 2 Play lays out a compelling case against corporate personhood and money as free speech.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Michael O'SullivanPay 2 Play makes no new revelations... The difference with this movie is that it actually means to inspire hope.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckJohn Wellington Ennis’ scattershot documentary has many relevant points to make, but the problem is that they’re not made very well and almost all of them have been made before.
User Review - 10/10 by Alessandro SA fabulous look at the inside world of politics and the impact when only those with enough money get to "pay to play." Interviews with people who know the political arena such as Lawrence Lessig, Marianne Williamson, Thom Hartmann, Robert Reich, Noam Chomsky show us the impact when the average American no longer has lost their voice without realizing it. This movie leaves you educated and inspired. Highly recommended.
User Review - 10/10 by Niccole AThe most interesting piece of Pay 2 Play is its use of Monopoly, the cherished childhood game, as a metaphor for the dysfunction and corruption of Washington. In Monopoly, the winner is the last man standing, money in hand, after he's bankrupted all of his opponents - sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? Monopoly was the perfect foil for our political roller coaster, down to the inclusion of "board flippers." Remember as a kid when Monopoly made you so mad you just... flipped the board? After watching Pay 2 Play, I wanted to do the same thing with Washington - turn it all upside down and start from scratch.
User Review - 10/10 by DC GLoved it! A must see. Bring your friends & family.
User Review - 10/10 by lizzie sA MUST vs. a "should" see film for it takes a complicated topic and connects all of the dots of what is wrong so that anyone can easily comprehend the corruption and subversion of our democracy by money and bought-and-paid-for elected employees. Mr. Ennis as well as his stellar film team, Holly Mosher [executive producer] also provides six [6] ways each one of us can implement to ensure a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
User Review - 10/10 by Nicole BPhenomenal film. Inspiring, empowering, encouraging. Ennis addresses everything wrong with our current system of politics by providing an overview for how money has been able to infiltrate politics (Citizens United & ALEC) and how it affects us, the people. He interviews academics, lobbyists, lawyers, and others to give a comprehensive understanding of the various facets of what the problem is, and how it affects us. Ennis follows two congressional candidates who both run on platforms that focus on raising money from people, not corporations. Both candidates lose to their opponent- an incumbent swimming in corporate funding. The film does an excellent job at not only riling the audience up, but also giving them hope for what they can do. Whether it is protesting, creating art on the street, or making films about money in politics, Ennis motivates people to believe that we all can make a difference- every single one of us.
