I reviewed Charles Ferguson’s smart financial recession study at Cannes in May, describing it as “a thorough, incisive if faintly dry breakdown of the current economic crisis that plays a little like last year’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” on a heavy dose of Ritalin.” Most other critics are less measured in their praise; though there are no sure things with the Academy’s wilful documentary branch, the film looks a cinch to score an Oscar nod, and very possibly the win too. The Sony Pictures Classics acquisition will play Toronto next month, before hitting US theaters on October 8. Apple has the first trailer; click on the image to check it out there, or watch the embed after the jump.

I can’t wait to see this now. This has been an amazing year for documentaries.
Seeing this this afternoon. Can’t wait.
Really looking forward to this. I imagine this’ll be at the LFF: this is normally the sort of thing they go for, especially on the doc front. Maybe it’ll only be two months before it comes to the UK! Yippee!
