I was at the Tribeca premiere of this doc, and was left disappointed, wondering why so much screen time was spent on the insecticide treatment of pools in abandoned homes and flickering computer screens of investment banks ? (when a brief text graph summary would do). Given that Cockburn began filming in January of '08, we could have carried the full arc of about four families, instead of brief snippets of two families, and one drive through a neighborhood, and done without the artistic dirty pool metaphors. Left me feeling that the ambition went ambling way off road. BRAVO! on that review.
