A Decent Factory Reviews
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
What follows during an assembly plant inspection is a more specific expos on outsourcing in the developing world than last year's fact-filled The Corporation.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Though it lacks a focus or greater artistic vision, Thomas Balms' no-frills documentary offers Westerners a valuable glimpse into the sweatshops of the new China.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Ethical capitalism may sound like an oxymoron to some, but that concept is a linchpin of this cursory, irritatingly facile look at the human cost of globalization.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Unintentionally funny is still funny, and the documentary A Decent Factory, which opens with a misspelled quotation from Milton Friedman, had me giggling.

Village Voice
Mark Peranson

Long Island Press
Prairie Miller
