Movie Reviews

Salon.com - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirThe cut-rate colossus didn't just ride the tide that sucked industrial jobs out of our towns and cities and spat out low-wage service-sector jobs in the sprawling exurbs -- it helped create it, and at the very least drastically accelerated it.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanGreenwald floats the vital issue of whether Wal-Mart should be restrained by antimonopoly regulations, but his real question is cultural: Even with its rock-bottom prices, is Wal-Mart in the best interest of American consumers?
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrThe movie's masterstroke is to avoid interviewing the usual anti-globalist suspects and let solid, hard-working middle Americans speak.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckLacks the cinematic panache to elevate it above the level of agitprop. But its all too relevant dissection of its subject is well worth paying attention to.
New Statesman - 8/10 by Victoria SegalYet, despite the inherent lack of suspense in this "bad corporation!" genre... Robert Greenwald's documentary still generates enough jaw-dropping revelations to make it more than just an exercise in confirming anti-globalisation prejudices.
Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyIt's not a question of agreeing or disagreeing with this film's point of view to say that it isn't as often convincing as it is convinced.
The New Yorker - 8/10 by David DenbyFor all its missteps, the movie powerfully suggests that Wal-Mart is capable of demoralizing a community so thoroughly that it doesn't have the spirit to carry on its life outside the big box.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickWal-Mart's home office in Bentonville, Ark., can rest easy: Greenwald, as usual, is hysterically preaching to the choir.
Village Voice - 8/10 by James CrawfordViewers may not be surprised to learn of Wal-Mart's horrific track record, but they can't deny Greenwald's airtight advocacy.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jack MathewsLeft-wing flame-thrower Robert Greenwald (Uncovered: The War on Iraq) gets after the global giant anyway, and he may have you thinking twice before entering another Wal-Mart parking lot.
