THE LAUNDROMAT MOVIE REVIEW
Steven Soderbergh and Netflix team up again for The Laundromat, a Big Short styled dramedy focusing on the Mossack Fonseca scandal (better known to the public as the Panama Papers). A big part of the film follows Ellen Martin (Meryl Streep) as she investigates a fake insurance policy that leads her to a law firm based in Panama City. She discovers that the founders, Jurgen Mossak (Gary Oldman) and Ramon Fonseca (Antonio Banderas), run a variety of shell companies and offshore accounts laundering money for rich people across the globe. The film then follows her and a bunch of other people connected to the scandal as they learn how the rich continue to exploit world markets for their own gain. Allen, Brad, and Daniel ‘Dogget’ had a lot of thoughts about this sprawling, sometimes disorganized, movie, but who found this approach charming and who was more on the fence? Find out here.
