Simon Houpt Globe and Mail Reich is a natural teacher of complex concepts: The film doesn't feel like homework. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 1, 2013 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Inequality for All is intelligent, persuasive and accessible, a gentle but urgent clarion call to action. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle [Robert Reich] headlines this documentary in which he explains his views about the United States' current economic woes. It's something he manages to do engagingly and with great clarity. Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2013 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A subject that affects each of us on a daily basis, if you see only one documentary this year, make it Inequality For All. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Tracy Moore Common Sense Media Engaging economics docu encourages equality, activism. Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Dan Schindel Nonfics A levelheaded, easily understandable primer on the aspects and causes of the problem. However, it does not do much to distinguish itself from similar documentaries. Rated: 3/5 May 30, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

dustin d Inequality for All is a little too focused on inequality. I know that's a strange criticism given I should have known what the documentary would be about from the title. Robert Reich showed credibly evidence for increasing inequality in the U.S., but did so in a way that masked other trends, such as rising living standards. Where he hit the nail on the head, however, was in pointing out how inequality is destabilizing as people feel like they are being politically dominated by moneyed interests, and leads to political polarization. I think this underscores much of what we're seeing on the streets today. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member When I attended UNC, Inequality for All changed my life. Thank you, Robert. I am forever indebted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most exposing and honest political documentaries I've watched, starring someone who worked side by side with a president. By the end I was more educated and much more angry. 5/5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was very informative and fun to watch. Robert Reich seems like a very intelligent and sincere guy. The music was good too. I highly recommend this film along with Charles Ferguson's "Inside Job" and the movie "The Big Short" for anyone interested in learning about the causes and effects of the 2008 financial crisis. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Quinn R Reich has a great personality and brings a lot to this film. Incredible visuals and easy to follow but a little biased and uneventful in some areas. (68%) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/19 Full Review Audience Member Right on point but could have been summed up in a half hour. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/19 Full Review Read all reviews
