Featured review
A political comedy about corruption that should be mandatory to be shown in schools and I do not only mean film schools, I mean all schools..Everyone paying taxes should see it.
Yes, it shows some aspects of what is going on in the financial world and yes, it is not covering the whole system of abuse. Great acting on behalf of Meryl Streep which of course is not surprising. I was missing the role of central banks in this strange but true world order and of course the new role of crypto currencies that have become a new outlet for tax evasion and miscellaneous corruption.
Probably one of the reason it is still flourishing.
It is probably impossible to cover all aspects in one film.
I am truly surprised about the low rating it has gotten from users.
My only explanation is that it does not follow the centuries old blueprint of the heroes journey moving along a standard three act structure, which I consider daring and a plus. Especially if it manages to advance the art of film making, which this film does.
Directorial gimmicks of intertwining realms in one take usually used in the world of expensive and glossy corporate videos make this film a gem.
