It started well, but the second half felt a bit rushed in my opinion.

As a result, it did not leave the combative feeling of the book.

I thought it was quite an eye-opener. And if you look at the billions of taxpayers' money flowing to the banks, the privatizations in Greece, Portugal, etc., we see that what is told in the film is always happening.

I am not familiar with Naomi Klein's book of the same name, but this documentary certainly makes quite an impression. Using often disturbing archival images, the ongoing trend of privatization of public institutions and assets is depicted, resulting in enormous changes within the world's economies. It's not subtle; fascinating all the more.
