Margin Call Reviews

Very realistic depiction of what went on during the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis and specifically the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Kevin Spacey was so good I almost forgot that he did those things to little boys. Joe from Netflix’s “You” is also featured. Good film.

Boring version of the big short

investment banking finance corporate shit & stacked cast

to corporate for me
didn't get a thing🙃

Margin Call...and decline. I kept waiting for it to boom into the 'thriller' it calls itself. All it does is fall into disappointment. With an ensemble as heavy as this, you'd expect something bigger or at least better. Almost everything feels dull, the actors, lighting, colouring, dialogue, pace, and retelling. The repetitive, boring, workplace blame is great for realism, but well away from being enjoyable or even borderline watchable. There are far better financial movies, and I'd recommend most of those over this. Also, Spocks' eyebrows took way more attention than they needed.

Enjoyable, but not any extrordinary. Fine as motivation for this semester however.

Insanely realistic representation of the internals in hedge funds and certain companies. A crazy thriller I'd say.

not impressed

great acting good actors but didn’t live up to the hype sadly but still very entertaining 6/10

Great cast, kinda dystopian if you think a bit too much about it, they’re that worked up over sum made up corporate BS

I like the pacing

8.2/10

Feels so realistic amazing acting

6.8/10

Honestly very good for a finance movie. Didn’t understand a large chunk of it but good nonetheless

disgustingly real, nice portrait anyway

Under rated movie

Very good
