Fahrenheit 11/9
What stands out first about Fahrenheit 11/9 is the confidence with which Michael Moore establishes its documentary identity. Rather than relying on premise alone, Fahrenheit 11/9 asks Jim Acosta and Roger Ailes to supply personality from the opening stretch. The premise of Fahrenheit 11/9 is established with useful clarity: Filmmaker Michael Moore examines the current state of American politics, particularly the Donald Trump presidency and gun violence, while highlighting the power of grassroots democratic movements. That direct approach lets Fahrenheit 11/9 use its 2h 8m running time for character, atmosphere and consequence.
Beneath its plot, Fahrenheit 11/9 is most interested in the tension between public stories and private experience.
