Movies Review: In ‘The Big Short,’ a morality play about Wall Street
THE NEW YORK TIMES
By A. O. Scott
HOLLYWOOD---A true crime story and a madcap comedy, a heist movie and a scalding polemic, “The Big Short” will affirm your deepest cynicism about Wall Street while simultaneously restoring your faith in Hollywood.

But that queasy, empty feeling is the point: This is a terrifically enjoyable movie that leaves you in a state of rage, nausea and despair. [link]
