THE most informative film I have ever seen.

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2016)

By far THE most informative film I have ever seen which offered a highly detailed look at the worst financial meltdown in over 3/4 of a century. This film is a one of a kind for me, never have I ever paid so much attention to the information given out by a film to the point where I'm taking notes and pausing to reflect on what it all means.
This all coming from a topic in which I had only a passing interest in discovering what exactly happened but throughout the course of this film the passing interest turned into a burning desire to figure out the whole story and enrich myself with new knowledge.
The information was given in such a gentle and flowing way that you were thoroughly enjoying finding out new words and phrases used in the financial circle many of which were handed out with the subtlety of Lehman's terms in a jocular way such as Margot Robbie laying naked in a bath while telling you the finer points of bonds and subprime mortgages.
The fluidity in which the story moves along with the information makes you feel blessed in what you've learned and once you've figured out the exact cause and order of the collapse you feel like an all powerful knowledge robot.
I think this film will undoubtedly divide opinion because the manner in which it must be viewed to consume every last drop of information is vital, for example you hardly want to watch this film at a cinema where you have no chance to pause and reflect and figure out what's going on because the film is already powering forward.
Overall I would have to say this film feels likes a once in a lifetime watch where you take a subject that only slightly interested me and somehow through genius and to a degree a certain amount of showbiz glitz make me thoroughly obsessed with figuring it all out and seeing the picture that the puzzle pieces formed.
A sheer work of art by the writers, directors and by a AAA rated cast, and rest assured my rating system isn't fraudulent.
