A fascinating, exhilirating look at the GFC

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2018)

I really enjoyed this. It's a great story, and they told it well. I liked the straight to camera stuff, the celebrity expositions of some of the financial details like CDOs were good, the analogies were insightful. I have a little understanding of the subject matter due to reading around the subject since the GFC (I've not read the book though), and I didn't have any trouble following the ins and outs of the story
I don't know if any of the real life characters would object to their portrayals, but I liked all the performances. This story has a bit of an epic sweep to it and many more characters in it than you'd usually find in a film, they did well to bring them to life and differentiate them.
Steve Carrell continues to impress in dramatic roles and there weren't any bad performances. It's paced well, the story moves along briskly. In fact, I could have stood for a bit more time being spent on some of the financial details, but I think that I'm in a minority there ;-)
9/10 I'll watch this again.
