'Henry Ford' review: Had drive, gets breaks

For example, how pervasive was anti-Semitism in 1920s America? Did Ford ignite it or was the fire already lit? How much did he inspire Hitler (or vice versa)? Those seem like valid questions, but they're not asked here. Colt's portrait is often compassionate and fair-minded (arguably to a fault), but the sheer accretion of detail paints a picture of someone not only in the grip of megalomania, but paranoia, isolation and finally dementia. She also never once loses sight of his singular human flaw -- that he was an avowed man of the people, and for the people, but who in the end wanted nothing to do with people, including his own son. In short, a populist antipopulist Citizen Ford.
