I have to say I've had a love/hate relationship with Michael Moore's film. His first documentary about Flint, Michigan was terrific but over the years he has injected more of himself and his politics into his films. His latest Fahrenheit 11/9 seems like a real missed opportunity to look at what is happening in the White House, the media and across the country. This is a turbulent and unique time in the history of the world and a more objective film maker could have really captured the spirit of the moment. As it is, Fahrenheit is a hog pog of interviews, random bits of material and general hatemongering. Instead of trying to gain insight into the situation by actually uncovering original material Moore settles for the lazy Facebook blogger approach of trying to upset the right while pandering to the left. And as another reviewer mentioned he does this while cashing a paycheck. I am critical of Trump and his approach to things but material like Fahrenheit 11/9 does little but add to the inflated hysteria coming from the left that is as destructive to the nation as any of the president's missteps.
