Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2016)

I ummed and ahhed about The Big Short - did I fancy watching this film or not? would it be boring? would it be too complicated? could I be bothered with a film about finance. I ended up watching it and I am so pleased I did, what a fabulous movie - it was totally engrossing, exciting, easy to follow and the acting from all the main characters was superb, it even has the most unlikeliest people like Margot Robbie, Anthony Bourdain and Selena Gomez at hand to explain directly to the viewer in layman's terms some of the more complex points about finance. I would be truly surprised if the Big Short doesn't at least get something at the Oscars, I was truly blown away by this movie - do yourself a massive favour and watch it at the earliest opportunity you have!
