🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Moore constructs the film as a confrontational road trip, using his persona as a tool to breach corporate fortresses. He relies on unscripted, cringe-worthy encounters to explore the disconnect between boardroom logic and factory floor realities.

Those who tire of polished documentaries will find raw, urgent energy here. What lingers after the credits is the unsettling timeliness of its core question. — MovieFinder Editorial
