Audience Member Rubbish. Devoid of comparative or critical review of the Rand's philosophy. A protracted campaign, revealing the shallow depth of the writer's manifesto: sociopathic entitlement for all. Absolutely no coherent references to the what or why of alternative philosophies. Interviews with vacuous cheerleaders, and no analysis by respected and modern critical thinkers. Infuriating waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A detailed analysis of Atlas Shrugged and how the resurgence of Atlas Shrugged may mirror the fact that the events in the books are coming true. More of a promotional film for Atlas Shrugged the movies series than actual documentary, but regardless, it still interests me greatly to see how they compare the fictional America with the reality in parallel. A good film for the objectivists but not so welcome for the new comers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review s r Nothing new in this. It did not need to be made other than it did share with us some of her personal philosophies that otherwise were not on film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you want to watch a movie that is basically an advertisement for atlas shrugged, this is for you. I could not finish because I kept waiting for a counterpoint to rand's philosophy and concluded it wasn't coming. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely valuable documentary on a book we all should read at least once in our lifetime about a famous/infamous point of view completely misunderstood until now when it all has materialized. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It amazes me that this book was written over 50years ago by this author and yet read any news headline today, and we are living the book.
