Die Geldwäscherei

This movie is about a very boring subject. This also happens to be a rather complicated subject. What this film does with the subject however makes the movie entertaining from the first to last minute.

A quality cast is betrayed by a clumsily assembled script in Steven Soderbergh's overly preachy documentary/dramedy hybrid approach to the Panama Papers.

Throughout the whole movie, I catch my self laughing so hard and here they're genuinely funny moments. Streep is just so good! It is really a pleasure to watch her act. She is amazing! The whole cast is great! What really makes this a good film is not the topic or concept of the story but rather all the elements of the film. The way to tell a story. Soderbergh again is so good at what he does. Smart writing that engages viewers to like and enjoy a story. Money, corruption are elements that sometimes are too familiar in our lives and we do not want to see as for entertainment. It all depends on what you like to see in films. The Laundromat is well-acted and well written. Personally, I loved it!!!

Yes, the message comes across loud and clear about the dilemma of fraudulent insurance scams, tax evasions and shell companies, but the storytelling is haphazard, disjointed and feeble at best. The stellar cast cannot save what the writing is messing up, this is a missed opportunity of telling (what could have been) a much better story about a dark element of today American corporate life (which Mr. Trump clearly play a role in as well...).

A political comedy about corruption that should be mandatory to be shown in schools and I do not only mean film schools, I mean all schools..Everyone paying taxes should see it.

Yes, it shows some aspects of what is going on in the financial world and yes, it is not covering the whole system of abuse. Great acting on behalf of Meryl Streep which of course is not surprising. I was missing the role of central banks in this strange but true world order and of course the new role of crypto currencies that have become a new outlet for tax evasion and miscellaneous corruption.

Probably one of the reason it is still flourishing.

It is probably impossible to cover all aspects in one film.

I am truly surprised about the low rating it has gotten from users.

My only explanation is that it does not follow the centuries old blueprint of the heroes journey moving along a standard three act structure, which I consider daring and a plus. Especially if it manages to advance the art of film making, which this film does.

Directorial gimmicks of intertwining realms in one take usually used in the world of expensive and glossy corporate videos make this film a gem.
