Reviews by KarenIn this legal drama, Mark Ruffalo stars as a lawyer trying to avenge corporate wrongdoing and get justice for people poisoned by chemicals produced by a company called DuPont that makes Teflon.
The story is complicated and drags a little, but that is largely due to the fact that the real case was conplex and took years ro resolve.

This is a comedy staring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman and Antionio Bandaras about the Panama Papers scandal where people exploited tax rules to make money and conned people by setting up fake insurance companies.
It is quite a confusing film due to the subject.

This is a multi-award winning South Korean film with Englishsubtitles, that explores the gulf of differences there can be between the privileged and underprivileged classes.
It mixes comedy, drama and thriller elements with lots of twists and turns to the story.
It focuses on a poor family living in squalor who gradually gain employment by conning a rich family. The rich house harbours secrets and things gradually start to unravel.

This film is just over 2 and a half hours. It is a dramatisation of the events leading up to the Peterloo Massacre in 1819 (and the attack itself) where the British Government ordered the army to slaughter peaceful protesters who wanted democratic and social reform.
It is an important story that should be remembered.
