| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's about a callous bunch of high stakes financial market players who are out to rob the poor to give to the rich. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford"Capital" gives an intriguing look into the high-level workings of corporate Europe through the eyes of Tourneuil in an effective character study. |
