It's like _The Big Short_ but... boring. The reason being, as the previous commenter has pointed out, that the movie failed to give the viewer any reason to care about what is happening, the script and the direction failed in giving the story a personal dimension, so it feels like you're being lectured for an hour and a half.

The Laundromat (2019) Dir: Steven Soderbergh The Laundromat is a Netflix distributed comedy drama which follows the story of Ellen Martin, played by Meryl Streep, who after an unthinkable accident takes plan on her holiday, she begins investigating a fake insurance policy. The plot of this movie was an incredibly interesting story, and the way that the movie was directed just didn't stand up unfortunately. The cast list is incredible but the movie was just inherently flawed and not at all enjoyable in my opinion. I genuinely never thought that I could be bored by the filmography of Steven Soderbergh but this film really has me stumped, even with the film progressing at such a fast pace with a lot of dialogue. Don't get me wrong, not everything about this film was bad, the acting was incredible, Meryl Streep was incredible, Gary Oldman was incredible, Antonio Banderas was incredible, the cinematography was very nice. Where as the rest just fell flat for me, the film was poorly executed and after all of the hype and waiting for this, I was honestly just left disappointed. It could've been more to do with the script than the direction alone that created the flaws in this movie, at points it felt really kind of scattered as if too much had been forced in to this film, making it way too busy and too much to process and take in. Overall, for me unfortunately The Laundromat isn't a film that I would recommend to my friends, although I would say for some it may be a valuable watch and could be an entertaining movie if you're just looking for a casual watch and can get past the poor execution.

Steven Soderbergh is one of the most interesting and unpredictable film directors out there.

If the film had focussed more on one aspect of the scandal, it might have been been more interesting. As it is, Sodbergh disappears up his own behind and overwhelms the viewer with 'cleverness' and fourth wall nonsense that borders on pretension. Still, Streep is worth a watch in a dual role.

What a waste of time. Very disjointed. Impossible to follow dialog. Hit every one of liberal's "hate capitalism hot button" and of course had to include the former Islammunist In Chief. If you don't like laws which allow corporations to shield themselves from taxes you problem is with the law makers not the businesses.
