One viewer-reporter characterized the film as “rip-snorting [and] indignant [with] support from interviews with professional Cassandra Nouriel Roubini, Barney Frank, George Soros, Eliot Spitzer and others. But the most effective presence,” he continues, “may be the trusted voice of all-American actor Matt Damon, who narrates the furious takedown of the financial services and the government. It’s a fairly bold move by the actor.” The report goes on to speculate that Damon’s participation, from a supporter of President Barack Obama, and the documentary as a whole “may be one more sign that Democratic celebrities are going to push harder against the man they helped elect.”[1] A reviewer writing from Cannes characterized the film as telling “a complex story exceedingly well and with a great deal of unalloyed anger. [It] lays out its essential argument, cogently and convincingly, that the 2008 meltdown was avoidable. … [L]ess familiar faces, including a brothel madam and a therapist who each catered to Wall Street in the bubble years [are also seen, and t]he movie ends not long after Robert Gnaizda, formerly with the Greenlining Institute, a housing advocacy group, characterizes the Obama administration as “a Wall Street government,” a take Mr. Ferguson clearly endorses.”[2]
