Review of Madoff

Madoff (2016)
8/10

Warning: Spoilers
More screen time needed to be given to the victims in this tale of embezzlement via the Ponzi scheme method.

Richard Dreyfuss give wonderful performances as Bernie and Ruthie Madoff. While they're living the life of glamor, there is something about them that even when the good times prevailed, they were down to earth. Danner often comes across of the Jewish wife seeking status with that drink in her hand.

Madoff could have probably continued to get away with defrauding so many investors had it not been for the economic downturn of 2008.

The first part of the show would have required a degree in advanced economics from the viewers. Quantitative analysis is not exactly the most exciting thing to show on screen.

Other than those dedicated investors who lost their shirts from Bernie, the family suffered a great deal as well as shown.
