C.J. Chandor: Margin Call (2011)

A first feature about the beginning of the economic crash of 2008 with Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Demi Moore. A very important subject and some excellent acting and realistic scenes, but not the great story you might be waiting for. Lacks the pizazz of Boiler Room or Wall Street.

Opening night film of the New Directors/New Films series, presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and MoMA March 23-April 3, 2011.
