It's not, for example, like the 2010 documentary Inside Job.
“The Big Short” joins and compares favorably to other laud-worthy films about the tanking of the economy or the insane housing market, including the exceptional “Margin Call,” the anger-inducing documentary “Inside Job” and this year’s indie gem “99 Homes.”
Filmmakers looking to rectify this have already approached the story from a number of angles, from sober-minded documentary (“Inside Job”) to operatic boiler-room drama (“Margin Call”), but the route taken by “The Big Short” is by far the most radical, turning a dense economics lecture into a hyper-caffeinated postmodern farce, a spinach smoothie skillfully disguised as junk food.
McKay, best known for such comedies as Anchorman and Step Brothers, wants us to root for people who would be villains or dupes in other money movies, such as 99 Homes and Inside Job.
Seguro que algunos de vosotros ya habéis visto cintas como el notable documental ‘Inside Job’ o la apreciable ‘Margin Call’, pero aún faltaba por llegar ese título más accesible para que el público se interese en algo que sabe de antemano que va a provocar que acabe indignado.
The myriad scandals and the men who perpetrated them (it's never women) have inspired the high-minded hand-wringing of Oliver Stone's Wall Street and the outraged horror show of Charles Ferguson's Inside Job.
Though it ends well before the 2008 financial meltdown, The Wolf of Wall Street may be the most instructive movie about that disaster yet made, even more so than documentaries like Inside Job and Capitalism: A Love Story, because it gets at the rush, the draw, the very smell of the fuck-everybody greed which fueled it.

Directed by David Leitch
influenced by No End in Sight (2007), Inside Job (2010)
Director Charles Ferguson ( No End in Sight ; Oscar-winner Inside Job ) appears to have left no detail out, though his use of re-enactments seems unnecessary amidst the wealth of archival material so carefully assembled here.

I always find it a curious choice when filmmakers create a fictional film when they could be making a documentary (or you could be watching one that already exists--in this case, like Academy Award winner Inside Job).
There have been better movies set in this world including both "Wall Street" movies but for a rather contained ensemble drama, it generally works to get one more interested in that aspect of finance, though it's no "Inside Job."
For that you need to see Charles Ferguson's Oscar-winning documentary Inside Job.
I was hoping “Margin Call” would at least be best of breed, and I suppose, given what else is out there, it is (unless you count Charles Ferguson ’s Oscar-winning documentary “ Inside Job ”).
They'll have to be satisfied with a documentary ("Inside Job," "American Casino") or another viewing of "American Psycho."
Viewers who want a deeper understanding of the financial crisis would get more out of Charles Fergusons Oscar-nominated documentary, Inside Job.
