Dylan Matthews Vox Everyone thinks this movie is a fairly routine, not particularly notable drama...my love for Margin Call boils down to it being the one film that, more than any other, seems to understand the modern workplace. Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox Positively devastating. Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service Maybe the financial collapse went down something like this... Rated: 3/4 Dec 31, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Afterward, we have a better understanding of the apathy that permeated our economy’s ongoing crisis, which, depending on your outlook, either focuses or alleviates your anger over the situation. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Enrique Sánchez En Filme Even though Chandor isn't trying to turn his characters into something abominable, the truth is that each of them is, on a bigger or lesser scale, an evil to society. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Margin Call opts to show us that there are no heroes and villains, only villains and victims and poor souls weighing the merits of a Faustian bargain. Rated: 3/4 Nov 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Ariel B great dialog, amazing how without sharing the real information or even real companies they can keep you at the edge of your seat. Zachary Quinto is perfect as the lead while not being the total lead of the movie, the dynamic shifts all the time, Paul Bettany and Kevin Spacey are incredible, Jeremy Irons delivers an amazing performance. I think the soundtrack is also incredible. Just a movie that if you like dialog well delivered it'll be more than entertaining! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Michael C Great spin on the 08' GFC. Unlike the big short it takes away the technical aspect and gives a more barebones overview of the situation. Cast performances are amazing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Lorenzo M Not that great, the big short so much better! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Murillo J Excelente drama histórico sobre los sucesos ocurridos dentro de un banco de inversión en Wall Street horas antes del comienzo de la crisis financiera del 2008. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Blood of Z Easily one of the best movies about Wall Street and finance out there. Absolutely loved it. Amazing writing, directing and absolute powerhouse performances. This is the type of movie Hollywood has to get back to making. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review F R The best of the movies about the financial crisis. That's what Cramer says, and he is right. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
