Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Blistering performances.

a movie about consumerism. not much irony. this movie plays pretty blandly with only one or two narrators, cut between multiple videos of seemingly random things about consumerism.the main narrator even says that protesting gets no notice until it gets to be a violent protest. anyways this is boring and definitely looks more like a music video. if you liked the music video look, which is cut up audio and video, especially using those sound effects from the videos. i recommend the "Coldcut & Hexstatic - Timber" video, which is 100x better than this movie.it is interesting how they show a small segment of Cuba wherein a lady shows us her ration card. and another girl who had visited London recounts her awe at seeing a supermarket. some of the movie is cut into car factories, computer exercise training, ship dismantling in India, and other random videos. but then there is no afterthought or commentary on it.in short, if you are looking for a good anti-consumerism movie, avoid this.

There is virtually no 'substance' to this so-called documentary. I say so-called, because it doesn't actually document anything. What a wast of time: every scene is repeated at least 3 times. 15 minutes of the movie isn't in English and doesn't have subtitles. Only about 10 minutes of the film actually addresses its anti-capitalist theme. And none of that 10 minutes offers any facts or evidence, just the rantings of a single fringe radical author; 'we should tear up the highways' and 'starbucks is wiping out freedom.' It sorta felt like a cross between two very good documentaries (Koyaanisqatsi and The Corporation) that was somehow managed to be perfectly terrible.

This documentary was a bit disappointing. Very similar to "Lucky People Center International" from 1998, only more repetative and less imaginative. Maybe that is because Johan Söderberg was co-director on both of them?The movie deals with consumption, for me a very interesting subject. It was no suprise that this movie held a critical stance towards capitalism and consumerism, as that kind of view is very politically correct and trendy nowadays in Sweden. However, to my disappointment, the movie really doesn't contain much fact or discussion at all - some nice looking images with good-sounding music are shown, some of them repeated over and over again. While this was used in a good way in "LPCI", where it created a nice flow between the different scenes, here it just becomes... repetative.Conclusion: If you don't have much to say, better to shut up.4/10

This is without doubt one of the most convincing and impressive documentaries I have ever seen. It is very in-your-face and not subtle, and you might not agree with the message (consumerism is bad), but anyone would have to admit that this film is very, very well made.It's form is highly original. For example, there's a quick montage of the world's leaders (Bush, Blair, Poetin, Chirac etc.), who's voices have been erased, and replaced by a new one, literally 'putting words in their mouths'. Great!And I should mention the editing, which is in accordance with the images and music. The whole film playes like a musical piece, with repeting themes, set-ups and climaxes.For the original form alone, you should see this when you have the chance. Even when you think capitalism is okay.
