Review of The Shock Doctrine (2009) by Anna B — 21 Jan 2014
Very didactic, it relies too heavily on bad news report-style narration over archival footage, and it rushes through the facts so quickly and glibly that it makes the conclusions it comes to about causation sound tenuous and hysterical when they are most likely in actual fact very well-researched and backed up with evidence.
I would also liked to have seen more of an emphasis on earlier history, as that's especially rushed through. It's not a very good film, but there are powerful moments when the facts speak for themselves.
