The ideas in this densely packed but enlightening film can be challenging, but must be heard.

The Hollywood Reporter

In its account of the many ways corporations shield their dough, the film lacks specifics that would be useful to many viewers.

Variety

A concise, engrossing and occasionally infuriating overview of the ways multinationals avoid taxes by stashing profits in offshore havens.

A penetrating look at how offshore tax havens in places like the Cayman Islands operate as a key neoliberal institution.

There's a ton of information here, and there's no question that director Harold Crooks's arguments are convincing.

Rated: 3/5

The Price We Pay is a complex, nuanced film about a complex, nuanced situation.

Le Prix à Payer est un nouvel ajout à la liste des documentaires qui tapent à boulets rouge sur le monde de la finance. Le problème est qu'il arrive en 2015 et qu'à part deux ou trois séquences en Irlande (celle du Double Irish est extrêmement drôle) ou aux Bahamas, il n'apporte pas grand-chose de nouveau. Il n'empêche qu'il trouve quelques sympathiques intervenants et que le film tient un bon rythme pendant 90 minutes. La forme est malheureusement bien plus proche du reportage d'Envoyé Spécial que d'un film de cinéma et c'est probablement le plus gros défaut du film. Ca et sa bande-son digne d'un Monoprix.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
