Mary and Richard Corliss, Time: OUTSTANDING "If you're not enraged by the end of this movie, you haven't been paying attention." (Read the full review...) 663 words, 10/08/10 Christy Lemire, Associated Press: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...depressing, well-documented stuff.... one eye-opening, jaw-dropping package. You may think you don't want to see this. But you should." (Read the full review...) 705 words, 10/21/10 Claudia Puig, USA Today: VERY GOOD (cg) "Consistently insightful and occasionally terrifying... more riveting than 'Wall Street 2.' It could just make you want to withdraw all your money from the bank and stash it under a mattress." (Read the full review...) 197 words, 02/24/11 Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...an angry, well-argued documentary... There is no moral justification for how Wall Street functions today." (Read the full review...) 868 words, 10/14/10
A.O. Scott, New York Times: EXCELLENT "Mr. Ferguson has summoned the scourging moral force of a pulpit-shaking sermon. That he delivers it with rigor, restraint and good humor makes his case all the more devastating." (Read the full review...) 1,372 words, 10/08/10 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: EXCELLENT (cg) "...like Michael Moore without shtick." (Read the full review...) 126 words, 10/08/10 Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: OUTSTANDING "...you will be thunderstruck and boiling with rage.... exceptional..." (Read the full review...) 761 words, 10/15/10 Kyle Smith, New York Post: POOR (cg) "...an incoherent but thoroughly outraged documentary about the financial crisis.... makes no attempt to be cinematic and will have even the most excitable viewers struggling to stay alert." (Read the full review...) 551 words, 10/08/10 Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a rich, often dissonant chorus of voices... Economists, bankruptcy lawyers, journalists: The perspective truly is a global one, and this global recession deserves nothing less." (Read the full review...) 493 words, 10/15/10 John Anderson, New York Newsday: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...heavy on the talking heads, but Ferguson also has a distinct sense of cinema." (Read the full review...) 329 words, 11/12/10 David Edelstein, New York Magazine: OUTSTANDING "...the horror movie of the decade.... policy wonk turned documentarian Charles Ferguson has no peer when it comes to tracking the course of a preventable catastrophe." (Read the full review...) 372 words, 10/04/10 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...an angry, well-argued documentary... There is no moral justification for how Wall Street functions today." (Read the full review...) 868 words, 10/14/10 J. Hoberman, Village Voice/LA Weekly: EXCELLENT "20 minutes into his lucid yet stupefying account of the 2008 global economic meltdown my vision was clouded by the steam wafting from my ears.... makes a familiar tale cogent." (Read the full review...) 686 words, 10/06/10 Peter Howell, Toronto Star: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...masterful... names names, points fingers and takes no prisoners in its scathing dissection of what Ferguson persuasively calls 'a completely avoidable crisis'... the exposé of the decade." (Read the full review...) 801 words, 10/29/10 Liam Lacey, Toronto Globe & Mail: VERY GOOD (cg) " 'Wall Street madam' Kristin Davis and therapist Jonathan Alpert testify to the investment community's use of drugs and prostitution 'on an industrial scale.' " (Read the full review...) 438 words, 10/29/10 Norman Wilner, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT (cg) "...the story of the global economic collapse triggered by the 2008 failure of several American financial institutions... in very simple terms." (Read the full review...) 239 words, 10/28/10
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...leaves the viewer with a pronounced feeling of helplessness. None of the principals in the financial meltdown was arrested, indicted or even forced to admit wrongdoing; indeed, many of them weren't even fired..." (Read the full review...) 638 words, 10/22/10 Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...has the twists and turns of a classic heist movie.... a damning indictment of the individuals and institutions who made money while customers lost their shirts." (Read the full review...) 600 words, 10/29/10 Mick LaSalle, Houston Chronicle/San Francisco Chronicle: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...there's such a thing as smart angry, and such a thing as stupid angry, and after seeing 'Inside Job,' audiences will be smart angry." (Read the full review...) 620 words, 11/05/10 Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: VERY GOOD (cg) "...plays like a cry of impotent rage at a system that has been so thoroughly gamed that a candidate can run on 'Change we can believe in' as a motto, when the people who watch what's going on can note that too little has changed..." (Read the full review...) 619 words, 11/12/10 Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a riveting, eye-opening, infuriating documentary... This is no dry economics lesson; it is a vital wake-up call." (Read the full review...) 482 words, 10/15/10 Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...clearheaded, thorough and enormously compelling... there seems like no good way out of the mess we're in. And that's scarier than anything you'll find in a horror movie this time of year." (Read the full review...) 720 words, 10/29/10 Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...moves fast, looks sharp and understands the fine art of building a case. It gives names and faces to a disaster so big that most people would rather think about something else." (Read the full review...) 326 words, 11/05/10 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a masterpiece of investigative nonfiction moviemaking -- a scathing, outrageous, depressing, comical, horrifying report on what and who brought on the crisis." (Read the full review...) 1,139 words, 10/15/10 Stephen Whitty, Cleveland Plain-Dealer: VERY GOOD (cg) "Ferguson is very bright, and very angry, which makes for a riveting combination." (Read the full review...) 510 words, 11/05/10 Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian: GOOD (cg) "Why is this collection of information and opinions being presented in movie form and not, say, on the op-ed pages of a newspaper?" (Read the full review...) 391 words, 10/29/10 Steve Persall, St. Petersburg Times: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...isn't a Michael Moore gotcha job, or an Oliver Stone oversimplification.... It is a profoundly important film to see, and when was the last time any movie was that?" (Read the full review...) 412 words, 11/11/10 Tom Long, Detroit News: EXCELLENT (cg) "...it's the clarity of old-fashioned talking-head narration, combined with some sweet gotcha moments and a blessed lack of ranting that makes it work." (Read the full review...) 331 words, 11/05/10 Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: VERY GOOD (cg) "...an important film, both for its educational value and its ability to instill outrage in the viewer..." (Read the full review...) 437 words, 11/05/10
J. Hoberman, Village Voice/LA Weekly: EXCELLENT "20 minutes into his lucid yet stupefying account of the 2008 global economic meltdown my vision was clouded by the steam wafting from my ears.... makes a familiar tale cogent." (Read the full review...) 686 words, 10/06/10 Chris Faraone, Boston Phoenix: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...it seems unlikely that anyone will actually enjoy Charles Ferguson's new documentary. Regardless of your spot in the food chain, it's the feel-bad film of the year." (Read the full review...) 134 words, 10/14/10 Nathan Rabin, AV Club: EXCELLENT (cg) "...as much crisp, professional journalism as ballsy takedown, and the film's two sides complement rather than detract from each other." (Read the full review...) 330 words, 10/07/10 Aaron Cutler, Slant: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...experts predicted the crash over a decade before it happened, and that, rather than listen, financial heads gave themselves bonuses.... a vital piece of journalism." (Read the full review...) 785 words, 10/01/10 Norman Wilner, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT (cg) "...the story of the global economic collapse triggered by the 2008 failure of several American financial institutions... in very simple terms."

Bob Mondello, NPR All Things Considered: OUTSTANDING "...rip-roaring... pretty much any 30 seconds of interview footage in 'Inside Job' will make you want to throttle the nearest banker, broker or economic analyst."

(Read the full review...) 348 words, 10/08/10 A.O. Scott, New York Times: EXCELLENT "Mr. Ferguson has summoned the scourging moral force of a pulpit-shaking sermon. That he delivers it with rigor, restraint and good humor makes his case all the more devastating." (Read the full review...) 1,372 words, 10/08/10 David Denby, New Yorker: OUTSTANDING "...masterly. Indignation is often the most self-deluding of emotions; this movie has the rare gifts of lucid passion and informed rage."

(Read the full review...) 761 words, 10/15/10 Andrew O'Hehir, Salon: OUTSTANDING "...might well be the most important film you see this year... offers a lucid and devastating history of how the crash happened, who caused it and how they got away with it." (Read the full review...) 509 words, 10/07/10
Rob Nelson, Daily Variety: EXCELLENT "...the definitive screen investigation of the global economic crisis, providing hard evidence of flagrant amorality -- and of a new nonfiction master at work." (Read the full review...) 707 words, 05/15/10 Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter: EXCELLENT "...no talking-heads drone. It's a lively, droll and acidic shakedown of the insiders who perpetrated this financial crisis.... deserves, in stock terms, a triple-A rating." (Read the full review...) 417 words, 05/15/10 Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: OUTSTANDING "...you will be thunderstruck and boiling with rage.... exceptional..."
