Stars and Strife seemingly has good intentions for a better world, but its skewed take on capitalism may leave many viewers unconvinced. Go to Full Review
Jack Hawkins Battle Royale With Cheese 10/08/2020
Stars and Strife is a compelling 97 minutes with a message that's as cautionary as it is optimistic. Go to Full Review

Watching this movie is only the first step; the rest is on us citizens, but taking that first step is vital. What are you waiting for? Go to Full Review

8.5/10
An optimistic (arguably, too much so) documentary that focuses on what can be done to fix America. Too matter of fact at times, but a still interesting look at what could be. Go to Full Review

04/10/2021 This is one of the most horrifying films I've ever seen. In this film, some of the worst actors in world history, the very villains most responsible for creating this system of power and distribution, the people who created the mess we are in, try and give you a vision of the world and a path forward. This is like if you had a CEO who systematically drove your company into the ground through error after error after error and they gave you a power point about how to improve next quarter with the exact same strategy that drove us into ruin. Everyone in this movie is a bad faith actor. Everyone is an absolute buffoon who offers you nothing. These greedy cretins who believe in nothing but a version of economic distribution that gives them everything and denies you access to a better life, need to shut up and stop trying to tell working people how to live their lives. We are coming for them. See more 03/22/2021 heavy handed and simple minded. Bad and dumb. See more 03/17/2021 A multi millionaire's vanity project where he makes himself the main talking head. Features the most bloodless, vile creatures to tell the viewers why society is broken, and it certainly wasn't their fault. Most of these contributors such as Larry Summers and Rahm Emanuel deserve to be behind bars for life rather than in a documentary. Pablum or stupid ideas or both. Completely lacking in subtlety or subtext. See more 03/16/2021 This movie is garbage, literally doesn't explain why there's so much political anger? (Maybe because our lives have gotten worse over the last 50 years?) And they literally have the very people who have contributed to our worsening lives as the ones telling us that we need to calm down and love each other. Larry Summers, need I say more. Only soft-boiled egg brained morons whose lives have always been comfortable will see any value in any of the banal, 'no there there' statements these deluded vampires excrete at you. See more 03/16/2021 Total and complete garbage. Stupid, simplistic trash from the people that robbed the bank and destroyed the society in the first place. An absolute turd of a documentary with no redeeming features from a barnacle on the yacht of the rich dopes he serves. Boo. See more Read all reviews
