Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A sharp, absorbing portrait of our national debt crisis.
Fresh: Packed with facts, figures and the testimony of policy experts, the film is no wallow in wonkiness, but a surprisingly sprightly tough-love lesson in fiscal responsibility.
Fresh: Any documentary about the alarming level of our national debt faces a major hurdle -- making the dismal subject at least somewhat palatable. I.O.U.S.A. does about as good a job as any film could be expected to, thanks to the direction of Patrick Creadon.
Fresh: Here's the bottom line, kids. The United States is probably going to go broke during your lifetimes.
