Hear Stories About the Film
Albert Maysles
"What do I think of Michael Moore? Should I just put it bluntly? He's a sonafabitch. He's terrible. He's terrible. I don't know. But worse than that: He's the most popular guy in documentary filmmaking."
What the Critics Say...
Joe Leydon, Variety
"An intelligent, provocative and, arguably, even necessary examination of the phenomenon of Michael Moore -- the man, his movies and his methods -- 'Manufacturing Dissent' is not an assault by right-wing ideologues but a dissection by two self-described 'progressive liberals' and has all the more impact for it."

Margorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle
"Fueled by neither political agenda nor axes to grind, they present the fairest overview of Moore's methodology and filmmaking practices to date." More>
Gerald Peary, The Boston Phoenix

Michael Moore
"George W. Bush has run out of troops. There is no way he can continue even this war without bringing back the draft, and that's exactly what he's going to do if he gets another four years! You're going to be called up ...You're going to have to go and fight George Bush's wars."
John Derevlaney, Writer TV Nation
"He's not Saint Mike of the working man, he's Showman Mike, who makes money and does good along the way, but he's still Showman Mike."
Michael Moore
