New York Times

A vertiginous look inside the bubble behind the financial bubble, with no end in sight.

Village Voice

Bauder's film is a diagnosis of a system that is hopelessly sick and not being treated. Bring a stress ball to squish up as you watch.

With a few exceptions, Voss is a reliable narrator in these shark-filled waters.

Like Ishmael, the sole survivor of the encounter with Moby Dick, the German banker who is the film's only subject tells a tale of another great disaster.

The film is subtitled and the tiny text in yellow color makes it unreadable. I guess it would work if you spoke German.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
