Capitalism: A Love Story is, in a way, too ambitious for its own good. Its title feels like the one we’ve always wanted from Moore. Anyone seeing at least one of Moore’s documentaries knows that his films are about certain aspects of the American society and are essentially case studies: Bowling for Columbine was depicting violence and fear conducting to violence in America, while Sicko was polemically discussing the American health care system. Maybe his most subtle film to date, Roger & Me, his first film, was concerned with the decay of Flint, Michigan, due to the closing of the General Motors factory.
