3/5

[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.

3/5

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.

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.

When I attended UNC, Inequality for All changed my life. Thank you, Robert. I am forever indebted.

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

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.

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%)

Right on point but could have been summed up in a half hour.
