Ferris Buller meets Ken Burns

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2016)

This is a strange movie - almost documentary-like with actors recreating scenes from the book and that talk to camera/4th wall technique of stopping the action and talking directly to the audience about scenes, background or complex terms. I have never before seen something quite like it before with a great ensemble cast of A list actors combined with new faces. The whole thing is done with a great deal of humor - in almost every scene - practically to the point of satire. I thought the movie did a good job of explaining a complex topic, suggesting those responsible while still leaving those final conclusions up to the viewer.
