Top CriticIf Greenwald's intention was to make the audience very angry indeed then the film is a resounding success ... it'll definitely make you want to boycott Asda.

If you think you already know all about how evil and rapacious America's largest retailer is, wait 'til you see this latest exercise in muckraking from Robert Greenwald...
11/23/05
Robert Greenwald's documentary makes a devastating case against the largest retailer on the planet.

Top Critic...will win few points for art...but its subject matter provides such a wealth of material that subtlety is hardly required, nor even desired.
11/14/05
For all its missteps, the movie powerfully suggests that Wal-Mart is capable of demoralizing a community so thoroughly that it doesn’t have the spirit to carry on its life outside the big box.

Effective muckraking documentary.
11/18/05
Try though Greenwald might to not end things on a defeatist note, one observation from early in the film lingers: What Wal-Mart obliterates in small communities can never be replaced or regained.
11/03/05
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price lacks the cinematic panache to elevate it above the level of agitprop. But its all too relevant dissection of its subject is well worth paying attention to.
11/16/05
Top CriticA searing expose of the greed and systemic poor treatment of its workers by the largest corporation in the world.
12/04/05
It takes the gleam off those penny-saving bargains.
11/04/05
Viewers may not be surprised to learn of Wal-Mart's horrific track record, but they can't deny Greenwald's airtight advocacy.
11/01/05
Once again David slays Goliath in a documentary that has no pretense of being objective
01/25/06
Whatever Greenwald lacks in style he makes up for with a deluge of facts and figures and a populist feel that make his movies, this one included, accessible even to the most politically naive.
