Masterful docu-drama

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2016)

This is not, nor was it meant to be, an "entertaining" movie. It is about a serious issue that crippled the world and all economies, and it is happening again. This is an important film because no one else with as much cachet has ever attempted to deal with financial markets on this scope. The performances by A-list stars are impressively real.
That this movie even got made is like a fantasy, as I cannot imagine anyone involved thought it might make back the production costs, even if the big stars took only a percentage over scale wages. Thus, it comes to us as an offering of social responsibility from the principal actors, and to them, I SALUTE YOU ALL.
The stock market, the housing market, the banking system, are all fundamentally corrupt. That is not the spoiler. If you don't already know that then all of your assets are ripe for taking. The spoiler is that the same behaviour is ongoing and no one is even attempting to regulate it except Senator Elizabeth Warren, and that should make us all rather indignant.
If any film deserves to be taught from 6th grade through graduate school, this is it. Great production values and stellar performances.
