This is an important film for future voters worldwide. Just hope they watch.

While there are a few moments in the movie that can be said to be Moore at his best, the production as a whole may be Moore at his worst.

The genius of Moore's first film was its entry point: Moore began with an up-close look at his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and then expanded out to make Flint a microcosm for a broken nation. This one gets that backward, to its detriment.

It's splashy and sort of entertaining. You couldn't wish for a better compilation of footage showing Trump at his most obnoxious.

It might not be Michael Moore's most cogent film, but Fahrenheit 11/9 is the inspired work of a true American purist, a cautionary warning about how to end a dictatorship and return America to the dream of patriotism.

So more balanced than normal but, once Adolf Hitler hoves into view, as provocative as ever.

Less partisan viewers may find the film quite long, and not a lot more than a rehash of Moore's political obsessions. If you know his earlier work, you'll find no surprises here.

Moore makes an alarmingly persuasive case that democracy itself is under threat.

The film will neither change minds nor soothe embittered hearts, I fear, and an opportunity has been missed.

It has become cliche to call Trumpism a new brand of fascism. Still, Fahrenheit 11/9 is a potentially instructive piece of filmmaking... And because he's good at his craft, Moore's argument is persuasive.

Whether or not you agree with the politics behind it, I think he argues it in a way that is engaging.

The punditry is trite. The snark is boring.
