Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Chris PackhamJones presents a stark picture of a bifurcated economic system: the real one, in which ordinary citizens struggle; and the financial economy, in which the livelihoods of citizens are leveraged by the wealthy for speculative bets.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Matt FagerholmWith its frequent use of puppetry and quirky animation, Boom Bust Boom suggests what an old-school episode of “Sesame Street” would’ve played like, had it focused solely on the subprime crash.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayFor those who aren’t automatically turned off by the idea of an issue-doc that Schoolhouse Rock-ifies a serious, grown-up subject, Boom Bust Boom is a worthwhile way to spend an hour.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Ken JaworowskiA remarkably enjoyable, and sometimes very funny, documentary about a frightening topic.
Flick Filosopher - 8/10 by MaryAnn JohansonFrom Monty Python's Terry Jones comes an amusing, informative breakdown of just what the hell is wrong with the economy and a few ideas on how to fix it.
In These Times - 6/10 by Eileen JonesTreating our historically specific economic system as an extension of human nature, one which can be diagnosed by studying incipient monkey-capitalists, isn't much of an analysis.
Movie Nation - 6/10 by Roger MooreAnd John Cusack. “One semester at NYU” is all the Internet Movie Database gives him, as far as credentials. But he’s got opinions, especially about the meltdown of 2007-8. And he’s outraged. So anyway.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by John DeForeA tough sell theatrically despite its merits, the film will rely on Jones' name to reach viewers via home-video outlets.
Movie Mezzanine - 6/10 by Mallory AndrewsIt's a terrible conceit with terrible execution...
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 6/10 by Louis ProyectWhoever could have dreamed that economics could be so much fun? I guess that goes with the territory when it is explained by people of the left in a film in the Monty Python tradition.
