called Fast Food Nation "The most essential political film from an American director since Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11.", while JoBlo 's Berge Garabedian said "none of the stories in the film are interesting (except one), the ultimate lack of connection between them all is surprising and worst of all, it all just felt like a school lesson to me, taught by a condescending know-it-all", giving credit only to the movie's strong line-up of big name actors.
