"Much like Michael Moore, Dinesh D'Souza preys on the clickbait-era feebleness of his perceived audience with Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, a fundamentally incoherent and aesthetically barren harangue masquerading as a revisionist history lesson on the legacy of contemporary U.S. politics.
There's no question that Moore is a better filmmaker than D'Souza, which at least keeps the former's work tenable as cinema, but both approach argumentation in a nearly identical manner, utilizing a single voice or case study as evidence of both incontrovertible fact and widespread practice. Such extrapolating logic serves merely to naturalize the director's manipulations. For Moore, it's conspicuous edits and a feigned look of surprise when a subject states information he very likely already knew. D'Souza behaves similarly, solemnly nodding as his interviewees divulge one “revelation” after another, but it's clearly all a sham, primarily because the director, who appears on screen throughout, rarely asks questions of his subjects, instead leading them with “Tell me about…” at every turn.
The jig is so transparent that one can almost feel D'Souza mouthing just off screen the obviously scripted dialogue along with his subject."
