If you have not already had the chance to see it I cannot recommend this film highly enough. It pulls off the not so easy feat of both clearly explaining the financial crisis in sufficient detail while managing to keep your attention throughout.
(Update: Inside Job is an Oscar nominee for Best Documentary. The below list will be updated regularly with additional reviews and please feel free to post links in the comments)
Here's a roundup of some of the film's reviews which I'll try and regularly update as more reviews come in:
Guardian
Felix Salmon
Naked Capitalism / Yves Smith
New Yorker
The New Republic
LA Times
Rotten Tomatoes
And some additional reviews from Yahoo Movies:
| |||||
Source | Brief Review | Grade* | |||
| Boston Globe Wesley Morris | "The movie succeeds at upsetting you not by losing its cool, the way so many similar films do, but by slow-cooking its argument." | A | |||
| Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert | "...an angry, well-argued documentary about how the American financial industry set out deliberately to defraud the ordinary American investor." | A | |||
| Filmcritic.com Chris Cabin | "Like No End in Sight, the key to Inside Job's power is how clearly Ferguson maps out each step towards disaster..." | B | |||
| New York Times A. O. Scott | "...meticulous and infuriating..." | A- | |||
