Saw it at the 38th Norwegian International Film Festival, city of Haugesund, late August 2010. It was screened twice there, both times in the largest auditorium - one which had been upgraded to state-of-the-art quality mere weeks before the festival (the Edda 1 auditorium).
The experience of seeing this film, even with all the expectations I had, was an utter thrill. I only give it 9 out of 10 to adjust for myself being transported to a state of exhilaration, and therefore perhaps losing some critical faculties in the process.
I love the first film and it's among the three or four movies I've seen the most times. I've dabbled a bit in the financial industry myself (top Norwegian fund management firm) and politics, and I paid quite a bit of attention to the global financial crisis that unspooled in October 2008 and onwards. Bail outs and credit swaps etc are handled extensively in Money Never Sleeps. Ironically, the city of Haugesund was one of only 8 municipalities in Norway (there are 430 municipalities in this country) to be hit by failed municipal investments in Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) - and it was the one that was the hardest hit of them all! So a bit ironic then that Money Never Sleeps was screened there first, for audiences in Norway (although with around 14.000 professional guests, including several international stars, the audience was perhaps not predominantly Norwegian).
The soundtrack to this film is excellent, the visual style is pure perfection and very stylish, and the throwbacks to the first film are an utter thrill (if you've seen the first film recently, or several times earlier, like myself, you will notice them all, and love them).
Of course, having been in politics and the financial industry, it's hard for me to tell how this movie experience will be for someone who knows little about either. But for them there's also the interpersonal drama, and a love story. At the top of that, what they learn from this film will be valuable, and a much better and valid introduction than just about anything else you'll come across.
I will recommend this film to everyone. And it is so strong and so relevant, that I believe that political strategists from both sides for the US midterm elections coming up this autumn, will have to find ways of dealing with it, and pitching it to work for their side, some way or the other. Mark my words: This is one movie that *will* be referenced to during the upcoming election season - and not only in America, even.
It is that relevant. As one fellow festival attendee remarked at the closing dinner of the festival though, the love story could perhaps been a bit stronger and more authentic. Judge for yourselves. Either way, it will be money well spent, and I doubt you'll regret your investment!

Lucyrybicka's review was excellent and said it all. Unfortunately, my laptop's touchpad is very sensitive, and it made me accidentally click "No" to the question whether Lucyrybicka's review was helpful to me or not - as I was trying to move the pointer across from screen right to the "Yes" button. So it should say 5 out 8 there, not 4 out of 8. Sorry about that.
I loved this film and it has both great scenes and a very tasteful use of soundtrack. I saw it on the last day of the NIFF (Norwegian International Film Festival) in a very state-of-the-art auditorium, meaning big screen, digital image, superb sound - and it was a delight to watch A real treat.
I agree: If you've ever been in love (experienced limerence), this movie will speak to you like almost no other.

Saw this one at the Norwegian International Film Festival in late August of 2009, even though it was originally released as far back as 2007.
I found it enjoyable and well-made. The acting was convincing. Scenes were appropriately set up to display the opulence the high society that the high school level young women belong to. It's by no means an expensive production, though - more on level with a regular TV-episode, it would seem.
Movie doesn't work as well as a thriller as it does as eye candy and as a social commentary of sorts, as regards the attitude of young and rich people. The setting is mediterranean, most likely Rome or its surrounding areas, but could just as well have been from, say, L.A.
Speaking of which, it kinda hearkens back to that Bret Easton Ellis novel made into a movie: "Less than Zero".
