    The End of Poverty? (2009)

    Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

    " What's fascinating about this unfocused diatribe is that Mr. Moore, the liberal face of Middle America, has finally given up on the American audience." — Slant Magazine

    Unmistaken Child (2009)

    " As lovely as the elegiac music and breathtaking shots of the Tibetan countryside are in Unmistaken Child, they don't really move things along." — Slant Magazine

    Little Ashes (2009)

    " With a melodramatic score that alternates between sad violin and romantic guitar, and repetitive reaction shots of Lorca and Dalí in all their dreamy-eyed longing, Little Ashes is broadstroked filmmaking at its most tedious." — Slant Magazine

    Eden (2008)

    The Soviet Story (2008)

    " Soviet Story does a thorough job of laying out what happened, but its dull, educational-style format doesn't guide us to the next step of why we should care." — Slant Magazine
