Forsaking easy explanations of greedy bankers and incompetent regulators, this film goes to the roots of the forces which caused America and the UK to be gripped by the crazy belief that everyone could be rich and property prices would rise for ever. With a cast of bankers, borrowers, brokers and some of the best economic brains in the world, the film tells a gripping story of delusion, deceit and destruction. -- (C) Dartmouth Films

Critic Reviews
-
Christopher Long, Movie Metropolis
(The film) makes a series of points rather than an argument... Think of it as a Festivus-style airing of grievances.

Philip French, Guardian [UK]
Lively...

Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
It's a lucid, gripping doc.
-
Allan Hunter, Daily Express
An entertaining and accessible overview of the 2008 meltdown.
-
David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]
A film that informs and outrages in equal measure.
