Informative, but not much else

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2017)

'The Big Short' is a good film to watch if you want to educate yourself about economics and learn about the housing bubble collapse, because it's highly informative and insightful. From an entertainment point of view though, there isn't much to be enjoyed here.
Even if you can keep up and understand what's going on in the film, there isn't much to keep the viewer interested. The film is perfect for somebody who has an interest in the subject matter, but isn't much fun for everybody else. That said, 'The Big Short' is a very well made film and you'll feel slightly smarter for seeing it.
An informative, well-made film that isn't sufficiently mainstream to be appreciated by large audiences, but great for people with prior knowledge and an interest in this subject matter.
