This isn't a documentary. It has no direction

This isn't a documentary. It has no direction, makes it argument by including a lot of stuff that is beside the point and doesn't seem to contain any original material. It's mostly archival footage and, as someone else already stated, bits of Naomi Klein's lectures. The whole thing is litterally riddeled with irrelevant material that is probably included purely for it's shock value. Perhaps that's the actual schock therapy the movie refers to. I agree with much what is said but there's no hard evidence of anything. It's more a collection of cirumstances, of which many are irrelevant, with exciting narration. Even though Naomi's book is on the to-be-read list, this "documentary" is a very odd experience.

I really like Klein's take on neoliberalism and disaster capitalism, and this documentary is a good way to reach people who don't like reading - especially dense books on social theory. It synthesizes well the most important parts of her ideas, making them easily comprehensible to the general public.

It's always a shame when a documentary with such interesting and worthy subject matter is handled with such a lack of editorial skill. I would certainly recommend it due to the content but it's not great cinema.
