"Bowling for Columbine" is riveting
and scary, and its vision of a society racked by fear, riven by
inequality and armed to the teeth is neither comforting nor easily
wished away.
--A. O. Scott, The New York Times

moving the next."

scary look at America's obsession with guns [that] is meant to shake
us up good. And it does."

then shocks you the next with a frankness that cuts to the core."
-- Steve Oldfield, FOX-TV
"Provocative... When Moore turns his caustic
wit on America‚s trigger-happy culture, the result is by turns
absurd and chilling"
-- Joelle Diderich, Reuters
"Rollicking, incendiary!"

most powerful documentary. An eye opener."

best films of the year.... Packed full of emotion, truth and a hard
cutting edge of reality... Michael Moore get ready to receive your Oscar!"
-- Jeffrey K. Howard/The Movie Guys ABC News (Las Vegas)
"If you like your entertainment shaken and
not stirred, then this powderkeg of guerilla filmmaking will leave you
debating for days afterwards. Hilarious, frightening and in-your-face
and utterly shocking all at once, Michael Moore, in his own inimitable
style, shows that he's America's most unique filmmaker. I absolutely
loved it - my favorite film this year. Bravo!"

films ever."

"As funny and abrasive as his hit debut Roger
& Me, and much more sorrowful."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"This documentary will start fights all over
the country, with the power of free speech and nothing else, I trust.
Michael Moore goes where nobody else dares and does it with fearless
wit. His ability to get people on all sides of an issue to open up is
unmatched. His willingness to ask anybody anything and take whatever
comes back his way without flinching is awesome. 'Bowling for Columbine'
is a must-see for all--the advocates of both sides and the vast majority
of us still trying to figure out one of the most disturbing trends of
our time."
-- Patrick Stoner/WHYY/PBS (Philadelphia)
