It's an average documentary with deep and powerful moments. Thought, the few funny moments are, I think, more efficients. But, at the end, this one-sided documentary falls into the worst melo-drama instead of really proving something. Yes, of course, War is terrible. It's not what I call a Breaking discovery or a hidden truth, it's a fact. I think the intentions of the filmmaker were honest but I had the impression to only watch, a 2 hours commercial for the democratic party. Let's say it's a film of good willing who want what's best for the general interest. Like dictatures do.
Does this film deserved the "Palme d'or" ? Truly not. It never should have been in competition in the first place : Tarantino (Jury president) and Moore having the same producer ! I think someone should do a documentary about the marketing of this, so-called censured, film in the states and, especially, overseas.
As for the general quality of the work, I regulary watch documentaries on BBC or elsewhere who are masterpieces comparing to this. Farenheit is theorizing on how Bush administration put asleep the American people, but the film is acting with the same mechanic ! Always going on one exclusive direction. It's not even cynical. It's just a thick demonstration for people already convinced.
