🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director David Sington constructs the narrative as a forensic investigation, relying on a clear chain of causality between greed, financial engineering, and systemic failure. He explores the crisis through carefully chosen voices, building a compelling argument rather than a mere collage of talking heads.
What lingers after the credits is a sobering understanding of how abstract instruments fueled real human suffering, and how the pursuit of endless growth ignored fundamental flaws. A vital autopsy of a near-fatal economic collapse. — MovieFinder Editorial
