Leave your thoughts about The China Hustle.
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDocs like Jed Rothstein's excellent The China Hustle present us with such frequent occasions for outrage that, in the interest of fairness, it's time for a few top documentarians to assemble a five-minute disclaimer to run in front of each new exposé. |
| The Pop BreakMarisa CarpicoIt's a lot to keep track of, but Rothstein is a clever editor and the film flows so that the constant information dump never becomes overwhelming. |
| NonficsAndrew KarpanThe documentary's banal incredulousness at its subject suggests Rothstein should watch a few seasons of The Sopranos. |
| VarietyScott TobiasJed Rothstein’s wildly entertaining documentary The China Hustle blows the lid off another multibillion-dollar heist built on complex financial instruments and a whole lot of smoke and mirrors. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughAt a time when financial regulations have been gutted, stock market indexes reel, and trade wars threaten, Jed Rothstein’s slick and revealing documentary The China Hustle should only add to the anxiety and gloom. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA brisk, entertaining documentary that shows how the world of investment works. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThe influence of executive producer Alex Gibney is clear in the photography and editing (making Gibney-esque now officially a term of art), but he has his own adept, incisive skill in linking a truly global economic crisis in the making, threading the narrative all the way from rural China to Flint, Michigan. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderThis is one of those documentaries -- like "Abacus" and "Enron" -- that make you boiling mad at greedy bankers, ineffectual politicians and a financial system shedding regulations like the snakes that these people are shed their skin. |
| The Young FolksNathanael HoodIt's impossible to watch The China Hustle without feeling a mixture of incredulous outrage and fury at all the corruption, all the complicity, all the injustice. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe story gets a little repetitive after a while, but Rothstein does an even better job of explaining investment jargon than Adam McKay did in The Big Short, and he doesn't require gimmicks like putting Margot Robbie into a bathtub to do so. |
