Roger and Me

USA 1990, 90 minutes
Dir. Michael Moore
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Documentary / Sociology

Aroview: A brilliantly irreverant personal odyssey by the film-maker who, equipped with a mic and a camera, endeavours to extract comment from General Motors boss Roger Smith on recent factory closures and some 30,000 redundancies in his home town. At once witty and poignant, it may be the perfect doco.

4 stars (Very Good) Moore's best film on GM's exploitation of this community, which remains grim to this day. Blows the silly myth of corporate responsibility to pieces! Moore's genius is his combination of truth-telling and humour. A must-see doco. ~Sandy

5 stars (Exceptional) Hilarious quest to meet General Motors Chairman Roger Smith, the man responsible for the factory closing in Moore's hometown of Flint, Michigan, causing devasting effects on the economy. A fine example of Moore sticking it to corporate America. ~GenXGirl
