Bowling for Columbine Ratings & Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
[Moore's] better at fingering problems than finding solutions. But though he only scratches the surface, at least he provides a strong itch to explore more.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
Fascinating, thought-provoking, often fitfully funny and sometimes devastatingly sad.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Bowling for Columbine would never be mistaken for even-handed, but it is at least a sincere attempt to find the source of this country's inability to curb gun violence and murder.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
There is simply no doubt that this film asks the right questions at the right time in the history of our country.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
At its best, which occurs often, Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine rekindles the muckraking, soul-searching spirit of the 'Are we a sick society?' journalism of the 1960s.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Even those who would like to dismiss the film outright should find much to mull and debate.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
We need [Moore's] noisy, cocky energy, his passion and class consciousness; we need his shticks, we need his stones.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Fun and informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Must-see gun violence documentary is brutal.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
It explains the very fabric of American society.
In These Times
Joshua Rothkopf
Readers of these pages need no introduction to Michael Moore, nor will they require any acrobatics on my part to go see Bowling for Columbine, which is (brace yourselves) pretty terrific.
Newsweek
David Ansen
It's both powerful and infuriating, brilliant and facile, hilarious and horrific, witty and demagogic. It's a great movie to argue about.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
All in all, Mr. Moore has given us a lot to think about in Bowling for Columbine, and he has entertained us royally in the process.
Observer
Rex Reed
Mr. Moore aims at so many targets and tilts at so many windmills that his arguments lose persuasion.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Even Moore's detractors, should they be inclined to see the film, will admit that he takes a refreshingly nuanced view of the issue.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Watch it, argue about it, embrace it, denounce it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A documentary that is both hilarious and sorrowful.
TIME Magazine
Olivia B. Waxman
The filmmaker Michael Moore seeks to explain how the massacre could occur, and why gun deaths are so much higher in the U.S. than in other countries, he's not afraid to confront high-profile figures.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It's a crazy, enthralling, sometimes hilarious mess of hypotheses, accusations, and head-scratching flights of folly, and it's there to be wrestled with.
