If you want to see a movie to gain an insight into the recession and how it was caused you should watch this movie. If you want answers to how we are changing in response to the recession this movie isn’t for you.
Thoroughly in-depth information presented in a well constructed documentary movie. It is narrated by Matt Damon, while genuinely enthralling it does not give any comfort to those who lost their money but it does offer some figure heads at whom you can point your finger at. It may be interesting to people who want to know more about the recession like business or economics students. It is quite heavy going, so make sure that you have put your thinking caps on before entering the cinema, it’s not ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon hangover movie.
The documentary directed by Charles Ferguson who also draws notoriety from his portrayal of the Iraq war in ‘No End In Sight’ gains unrivaled access to key figures within the financial industry as well as the academic world, to offer competing perspectives and therefore a fairer representation of what actually happened.
It is a fantastic documentary that will make you either hate the financial industry or fuel your desire to be part of it. We give this a 4/5 only because as on walking out of the cinema you will feel a sense of helplessness against the banks as you will realise that you are at the mercy of the narcissitic plutocrats.
extrememly well written and factually accurate
