Nearly 100 years after its creation, the power of the U.S. Federal Reserve has never been greater. Markets and governments around the world hold their breath in anticipation of the Fed Chairman's every word. Yet the average person knows very little about the most powerful - and least understood - financial institution on earth. Narrated by Liev Schreiber, Money For Nothing is the first film to take viewers inside the Fed and reveal the impact of Fed policies - past, present, and future - on our lives. Join current and former Fed officials as they debate the critics, and each other, about the decisions that helped lead the global financial system to the brink of collapse in 2008. And why we might be headed there again.
Leave your thoughts about Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve.
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonThere's a gut-punch sadness to the movie -- a melancholic dawning. While enlightening as it relates specifically to the Fed, its chief lesson is evident in other walks of life: money talks, and a well-heeled elite class has a private line. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthWith a blitz of talking heads and graphs and technical jargon, Money For Nothing can be exhausting viewing at times, and it's certainly not the most cinematic experience... But it's never unclear. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill Stamets[An] informing if not inflaming documentary. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineBruce may succeed in making you wary of the Fed, but, unfortunately, he's also likely to make you wary of his film. |
| Dallas Morning NewsSheryl JeanThe film ends with more questions than answers - perhaps that's the point. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireA thoughtful, detailed chronicle of the Fed’s origins, responsibilities and shifting monetary policies. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittNews flash: People are buying stuff they can't afford. There, now you don't have to bother. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMoney for Nothing feels less prophetic than generally handwringing -- it's just enough to produce vague worry in the unschooled without moving policymakers to do anything they're not already doing. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIt resembles a decent academic lecture on the subject...interesting, if hardly scintillating. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIt's immensely educational...and dry as a soda cracker. |
