Up to two stars

Despite all the stereotypes of this documentary, the two stars give it its own amount of information, including background introductions and interviews with many people.
Just in terms of feeling, I feel repulsive halfway through the film. I really don't like this kind of interview with a preset position, just like one of the interviewee's rhetorical question, "What do you want from me that you didn't get? "Using other people's mouths to say what you want to say, then interviewing so many celebrities is just for stacking up, and there is no other meaning.
When the tide receded, it became clear who was swimming naked. In this grand carnival, few people can get out of the way. AIG and other assisted companies are still selling their properties to pay back their bail-out money. The large-scale layoffs in the global financial industry show that the society has not rewarded failure. Financial companies are also not a place where droughts and floods guarantee income. When main street suffer, Wall street suffer as well. There are many more one-sided descriptions in this film. Generally speaking, such fact mining is unconvincing. Other films about the financial crisis are too big to fail, and Margin Call has a more balanced point of view. .
