The following titles are being released on Tuesday, Dec. 18, unless otherwise noted: Fahrenheit 11/9 (Blu-ray + digital) Details: 2018, Universal Studios Home Entertainment Rated: R, language, disturbing material and images The lowdown: Michael Moore’s latest documentary looks at the nation during the presidency of Donald Trump. The movie, however, is not so much about Trump, but how American ideals are shattering and our institutions are failing us. The movie really adds nothing new to Moore’s cautionary look at a nation, he believes, is slipping into apathy and dictatorial rule. He examines the broken political system and lays the blame at the feet of Democrats and Republicans. The movie is a call to arms to get involved in the political process. Despite its problems — it is rather overwrought — Moore is sincere in his love of country and his plea to make it better. The movie was warmly received by critics, who gave it an 81 percent fresh rating at Rottentomatoes.com.
