In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This is a documentary similar to "An Inconvinient Truth", where a (former) politician has a message he feels it is important to convey, and he conveys it in a personal but professional way. I am not from the US, and I was not familiar with Robert Reich - but what a delight he is! The best parts of the movie is where he breaks down the economic crisis in a way that is easily understandable, and manages to do it non-condescending way. Some of the clips from his media appearances were also quite fun.The way they bring in personal stories from other Americans is nice and touching. It helped underline the points made by Reich. At the same time, when a movie has such a strong agenda as this, it's hard not to watch it without your shield up (and you shouldn't, really). I am all for people using the medium to convey something personal, but when it's politics, it sometimes makes me feel a bit uneasy, as I know I am being "worked on". But still, from what I've read about Reich after seeing this movie, it seems to ultimately be a rather trustworthy account of what happened, and what can be done to stop it.That said, as a non-American, I often felt that this movie was not meant for me. I was not one of the people the documentary tries to convince. Obviously most of what is said is true and relevant globally - so it was not a waste for me to see it. But it still did not hit the mark, as I did feel "alienated" (too strong a word, maybe) at times.

The film "Inequality for All" is thought provoking and revealing with truth that shows and proves that being a middle class American is becoming harder and harder as the gap of when it comes to incomes and keeping up with the rich is no contest. As most Americans can relate to it as it's harder and harder with the rising cost of stuff to keep money in your pocket from payday to payday as many stated in interviews during this picture that they don't even have much money in their own bank accounts! Narrated and done by Robert Reich the man who was a former U.S. Labor secretary and Clinton cabinet member who's now a professor and best selling author tells it like it is in terms of America's widening income gap upon the middle class. This film is well done thru Reich's speech among his class and with interviews from the middle class and even rich people while showing data, graphs, charts, figures and stats to support how the income gap has came over the years. And footage is shown to support this involving political leaders and wall street choices. Robert even gives his thoughts which is supported with footage as to the cause of the decline of middle incomes and just to name a few they include the decline of labor unions, and how the world of technology has exploded, plus as rich people say they don't spend a lot of money and as shown and said were in a world of outsourcing and global trade that hurts the middle guy. And with politics and elections money is the name of the game the rich guys have the final say as with a torched democracy the middle people have no say. And education costs have risen and the average man can't make the cost to get educated. Overall this film stands up and makes a case for the middle people as Robert proves they are on the short end of the stick as the average American knows the income gap inequality is our nation's biggest problem as the rich get richer.

This film is filled lot of emotional nonsense and naive liberal talking points, but it still has some actual facts sprinkled throughout.There are two major problems with this film: no mention of the Federal Reserve and the idea that taxes fix problems The more important of the two is the Federal Reserve (central bank which is privately owned) and the incredible role it plays in American's economy. It is the sole reason, along with nearly infinite fractional reserve banking, that allows the financiers to become as exorbitantly rich as they are.Second point is that taxes don't fix anything. All of the growth we've seen comes from the heart of the economy and the market's wishes, not government officials (who are already beholden to special interests like Reich explained) waving magic wands. More taxes don't fix anything, they just lead to more governmental waste and more lobbyists vying for that money.Although many others are present, these two alone make this documentary a joke. If you have any knowledge of economics at all, you'll realize how oblivious Reich is.

watched INEQUALITY FOR ALL ...last year I saw an interview on RT featuring Robert Reich..& honestly I had no idea who he is/was..BUT what made me hooked to this guy was his revolutionary views about the economy & the people who controls it...THIS documentary is about the same thing It tells us about the economy..n how filthy rich "capitalists" controls it by sucking the money out of the common worker/people & how the government helps em to rob the very people who elected it....BUT don't think of it as a communist propaganda..the makers only worry about the America & the American people..they say it again n again(Its the only lag that stops people around the world to relate from the situation..cause methods can be diff but this is what is happening to all of em) AND it tells us all this stuff in the simplest form possible..you never get bored for a second..it portrays every aspect of the situation..so you can't call it biased at all..except that he went a little generous on the Bill Clinton & his own office years(what I think)..even than the film reveals a lot of things..things you must know As an outsider I enjoyed this knowledge/stuff & think its a _MUST WATCH_ for locals(US citizens)& _WORTH A WATCH_ for everyone else
