Alissa Wilkinson New York Times The crisis may have unfolded 50 years ago, but our interdependence is as important to remember now as it was then. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Jason Bailey RogerEbert.com It’s a fine film, albeit one that nearly loses its credibility due to an unfortunate instance of undisclosed bias. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker The film tells an enormously complex story of financial fine points and political maneuvering, along with the underlying social and personal backstories, with a deft touch and a brisk sense of wonder. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru An illuminating, well-edited and fascinating documentary. Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
