      Matthew H If you enjoyed this and gave this a good review you probably believe big pharma, big tech, mainstream media and most politicians are all for your best interest too. Either that or you're on a payroll to say so, or being blackmailed. Once upon of time I might have let this propaganda influence me, then I was awakened to what's really going on. Propaganda can be easily produced in an acute time frame. Truth does come out over the long run. I've never seen hardly any film, great films over 70% on rotten tomatoes, much less 100%. That is like having record turn out in an election during a so called pandemic and Joe Biden doing better than Obama in both of his presidential elections. I mean come on do a little better if you want to make it believable. It's almost laughable if it weren't so sad. The democrats ( and some so-called republicans) have always been the ones to suppress people, and then use those they suppress for their political gain. They create a problem so they can sell us their solution to "fix" it. This guy no longer votes democrat and I am in that club with a whole lot of company. It's growing daily. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review christian m Waste of time if you pass over one movie this year make it this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Clarification Number One: It's like anything Michael Moore creates, IOW it's not a documentary, it's a film. A documentary implies objective POVs, equal time and unbiased focus, exposing both the good and bad aspects regardless of how they affect the primary theme. e.g. See the Dutch study negating Bowling for Columbine, use of shock-journalism, editing and skewed & loaded imagery/words. This film takes a similar approach, hyperfocused from start to finish, it's goal was & remains to influence Base Voter's and reaffirming Emotional Base Voters. This has nothing to do with the character, her skin colour or her sex. Fear of cancellation or retribution explains the high marks, the overall intention explaining the release date & lifting the Paywall before Prime-only (Amazon missing out on $$$? That's a first) It was a long IE/EC type advert only allowed to run during the 10-Day IE Season before Election Day, technically a direct FECA Violation, but who cares, right? It got ppl to the polls and created another ProgDEM device used to target specific demographics. BTW The Constitution does not grant a "Right to Vote". It is a Privilege. You need to look at State Constitutions, all allowed to vary (for now) before Right us in-play. Based on the unfair application and bypassing FECA Laws, plus towing the line, makes this unethical, immoral and failing by default. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review brent m No matter where one stands politically, most of us (or so I would like to hope) believe in a sense of fairness when it comes to our elections. However, as this documentary from directors Lisa Cortes and Liz Garbus details, the country is increasingly under siege from a growing campaign to deliberately suppress voter rights in states across the nation, exposing the myriad techniques being employed by self-interested parties to achieve that result. In telling its story, the film chronicles the history of voter rights from the days of America's birth through Reconstruction to the Jim Crow Era and eventually the Civil Rights Movement. The picture illustrates the efforts of various constituencies, from African-Americans to women to Asian-Americans and Latinos, in winning and protecting what's widely considered one of the fundamental rights of living in a democracy. But it then goes on to show insidious initiatives to turn back the clock, as exemplified by a number of emerging state legislative and policy actions, most notably the tactics used to manipulate the outcome of the 2018 Georgia governor's race and the efforts to derail the campaign of Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams. This offering thus presents a reasoned and damning look at voter suppression efforts, emphatically delivering an urgent message we all need to hear if we hope to preserve our republic. However, despite the importance of this, the film could stand to be less partisan and more even-handed in tone, especially when it comes to balancing its coverage of which states have implemented voter suppression measures, some of which have arisen in some seemingly unlikely jurisdictions beyond those that have surfaced in more readily expected locales. What's more, "All In" says virtually nothing about what needs to happen even if voter rights are sufficiently protected -- ensuring that our elections produce victors who are actually able to do something to get the nation back on track once they're in office. That could easily be a topic for another film, though one can't deny this consideration is inherently tied to being able to cast our votes in the first place, and, on this point, the picture is silent. Still, I suppose we have to start somewhere, and preserving the opportunity to help bring about such an outcome is essential if we ever hope to have a chance to attain that larger goal. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member brilliant! an absolute must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member RATING: A+ Director: Lisa Cortes & Liz Garbus All In: The Fight for Democracy is mainly about the voting and all the difficulties it comes with in the US. Too show all of this ( including history, statistics etc. ) the Filmmakers chose to use animation and as I think this was a brilliant choice. This documentary is really exciting and you really can't bring yourself to pause it to go to the toilet let alone turn it off to continue watching at another point in the day. This film is really eye opening! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
