Margin Call


Rating = B

We watched this video to try to catch up on some of the films we missed this past year and which are getting Oscar mention. It is well acted and kept my attention throughout. It really doesn't say much about how the bottom fell out of the derivatives market other than that greedy people throughout the ages have caused financial bubbles, the resultant crashes have hurt lots of people, and this is completely natural and will continue to happen. It is an impressive film by a first time director, made with relatively little money and time.
