It's a swirling, upsetting picture that gets bigger and scarier the more he talks.

Missoula Independent
The film isn't necessarily pegged to the upcoming election per se, but the logic presented within helps make sense of current affairs.

Los Angeles Times
The directors bring to filmic life Chomsky's calm, composed talking-points--his measured, reasonable long-view of history and polic--with inventive framing of archival footage and coolly sharp images. A potent Panama Papers-era dissection of power.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Requiem for the American Dream is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining characteristic of our time -- the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality -- tracing a half-century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority -- while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. Profoundly personal and thought provoking, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time -- the death of the middle class and swan song of functioning democracy.
